“I like serving on juries. The last one was a speed trial or some such name. We were told the trial would last one full day and would fulfill our jury duty obligation in one swoop.
Plus, we got to go to a restaurant for lunch. Nice.”
Here you get $25 per day and a voucher for free parking in the deck adjacent to the courthouse. For me, civic duty is the primary motivation, not the financial remuneration.
No, it’s definitely not a financial thing. Maybe I just enjoy getting out and about.
Here it's still the same measly five bucks it has been since the 70s. I served four times over a 20 year period; the last time was over 20 years ago. Got to be a foreman twice; once assigned, seat #1, once elected by fellow jurors. Interesting cases.
