In Milwaukee County, you are paid $8.00 for each half day of service and $5.00 per day for transportation. A full day is a total of $21.00 and a half day is a total of $13.00.

i'd be happy to at least get paid that much!

here in dallas we get a whopping $6 a day :angry:
you'd think they could at least pay you for lunch and parking :shrug:

last november i got chosen to be on the jury for a trial that was supposed to last for a whole month! (but only lasted about 2 weeks). luckily we had a nice judge who was going to give everyone money for parking each day cuz it was so unusually long. the city parking is something like $10 a day (i can't remember exactly but when you get your parking validated you end up paying about $8 instead of $10 :rolleyes: ).

i think the prices they pay jurors must still be left over from the 1940's or something lol.

No - he said nothing like that!:wink:
 
Well ok, I doubt the guy wil lbe readin it anyway!
Without going into too much detail, we took 45 mins to agree that this guy was Not Guilty of a serious sexual assualt.

It was a good experience for a few days def. I'd love to do it again 1 day. I can't be selected for another 2 years at least tho..:grumpy:

I got a jury selection summons earlier this spring. I was able to avoid going b/c I'm a full time student (well, was at the time) and missed my maximum about of grace days already b/c I was sick all semester. On the off chance that I'd be picked AND the case made it to trial, I would've been screwed. The lady said I'd be put back into the schedule this summer though.....


...They didn't forget. Got my new jury summons yesterday. :mad:

Oh, and it says we get reimbursed the $2 it costs to park at the courthouse. Whoopeee! :|
