When I went for Jury Duty people who advised that they will lose needed income the judge offered to up their pay for being there.

The people that said "No that wont be enough" were released.




What country/timeframe was this in? Sounds pretty sketch to me.





The US, late 2019.

It's incentive to keep people there.  Almost everybody there is trying to get out of it so they will make offers to get you to change your mind.  Unless the reason you want to leave is because you don't think that you will be able to offer an unbiased opinion.  For example if you have had a traumatic experience in the past and the case that you would judge is relatable to your prior experience, they won't want you judging anybody lol.




That's crazy. I didn't know they would pay you more. Legally they only have to pay you like $25 a day or whatever it is.


Given all the ways people can get out of Jury duty it seems amazing they can find any at all.

I don't know why people are so keen to get out of jury duty. I understand people who just plain can't afford to lose the income, but people who don't want to do any public service? I bet they'd kick and scream if they were to be trialled without a jury. Hypocrites.

In many countries a year of public service when you meet the age of majority is mandatory. I think the US would be a better place if everyone had served their country, I know Australia certainly would.
