Brian Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 It is being done over Zoom. There is about 450 people here. The first hour has been people trying to get excused with some pretty lame reasons. I am also getting paid $5 for the day, which seems pretty low.

best3444 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Should have bumped my thread. I was there 8 hours for one day only. $4 an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 You're lucky you get paid at all on the first day. The rule around here is you only get paid if you get picked and make it to the second day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 Took an hour for roll call since a good portion of people still struggle with computers/Zoom in 2023. Now watching a 90s VHS video of how courts work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Somehow my boss got on a jury for a car accident (I handle car accident injury claims) she mentioned in Arizona apparently you can't just dismiss people for no apparent reason. I only had to go in once like 15 years ago in CA and it was an accused gang member and every other person was oh my cousin/friend whatever was the victim of a gang member I can't be impartial blah blah blah.

Brian Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 So I didn’t ask to be excused. This process should have taken 90 mins tops. Not sure why they are so bad at this when they do it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I just NOW received my check for serving jury duty yesterday. I didn't even open it because it's an embarrassment. 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
