I worked as a legal secretary, and at one time if you were in the lawyer business or anything related thereto, you were unlikely to be called. Now they call anyone; however, being in the field you are less likely to actually serve. You have to spend a whole day waiting around, and if you aren’t selected for a jury, they send you home. At one time, it was worse; used to have to hang around sometimes for a week or more.
And where I live, the compensation rate is $9 per day plus 7 cents a mile for travel. I think this was the same compensation paid about a hundred years ago. LOL
My company pays full pay up to 21 days, and the county court pays $30 a day and has nice facilities with TV, pool tables and internet access. Free parking, too.
