> On a serious note - not sure how much you get compensated on Juries
I served on a jury a number of months back, and in my part of the US, they pay $10/day. They ask if you want to donate it to the fund that stocks and maintains the jury waiting area, and 90% of everybody says yes.
If you can show that you'll suffer an undue hardship (like, for instance, financial distress or having to care for a loved one), they'll dismiss you from service and mark you as having served.
