Let me restate my question: if I go in Monday morning for the first day’s session and answer the lawyers’ questions in such a way that they want no part of me, am I completely off the hook for the next 2+ weeks?
Also, do I need receipts in order to get reimbursement for gas, tolls, parking, hotels, etc.?
No receipts required.
Unless you're selected as a juror, I wouldn't expect this to take but one day.
If you're selected for a jury, you're told what date and court to report to for the trial and then dismissed. When a person was selected as a juror, he was given that information and dismissed...many early in the day. I was not selected so I had to go through the day long process...just sitting and listening...bored.
Like I said before... four different juries were selected for four different trials. Some of the court workers said that four is unusual and one to two is the norm, a jury is selected quickly and everyone goes home early. Not us.
