Jurors get paid. I am surprised how many people do not know that. And in most cases, employers pay the difference if you don’t get paid what you would have made working (full time and in some cases even regular part time gets that).

In addition if you stay over night you get a per diem and you can eat pretty well and stay in a nice hotel room.

If you have to travel you get travel expenses.

Where the idea comes from that you serve for free is beyond me.

I’ve been called eight times here in CT and served twice. Only if the trial lasts more than five days do jurors get paid and they have to apply for reimbursement.
