Jury duty is a service to your community. However, there has be a better way of doing it. I just got my check for spending two days sitting around last week- doing nothing. And that was the same for approximately for 100 people called in Tuesday last week. The check was for $36 bucks YEE HAW! What did I do? We went in and sat down and learned everything that we were supposed to do, and then 12 at time, they took potentials into the jury box to be questioned. That was only the second half of one day- they finished up the first day to inform us we would be needed another day. We learned on the second day after sitting for the better part of a good morning that we were not needed because of procedural and legal issues dealing with the case at hand. It's very frustrating to find the when you want to give back, but you can't. Jury duty is something we're supposed to do but they make it so difficult, so time consuming and such a chore. No wonder...
