(Generally, unless it's a high-profile case, jurors DO NOT get locked up in a hotel for the weekend.) |

They could even dismiss you on Friday and call you back on a Monday. Or, you could be called to a jury room, and be in the process of jury selection, which might finish Friday, or drag on the following week.

A lot of People do not get paid by their Employer when they are on Jury Duty and where I live they don't pay even the $10 Jury fee for the first day.

If you can't live without income for a week or two, you're not saving enough.

It's not the "income" which is a problem. If I could just avoid the "out-go"...

If you are in the above situation and say you need to be home with your Kids (like pick the Kids up form School or actually be there when they get home from School) the Jundge is going to tell you to pospone and make arrangements for someone to take care of your Kids. If you have no Realatives or Friends willing to do that you are going to have to pay someone. I realize that other People have more complicated financial obligations then I do.

Almost exactly 2 years later, I'm sitting in court for jury service once again.

They don't exempt you for 5 years when you get called up?

Varies by state and county. In sparsely populated areas, jury duty rotation can be very short. Also, waiver can be based on actually sitting on a jury versus just being called in.
