61. JURY PAY: I will set up a schedule of pay for jurors, the
Judge is “very” well paid, the Attorneys are
being paid, (unless the lawyer is handling the case Pro Bono, jurors should get
some level of pay if they are not paid by their employers for serving on jury
duty. It should at least be at least minimum wages (tax free), and for trials
that run more that 10 days service, the scale of pay should be increased, so
many more Americans can “afford” to do their civic duty. Believe me if the Judges, and Attorneys
weren’t being paid they wouldn’t be there either Only the jurors should donate
their time? HMMMM. WRONG
I actually believe citizens serving for jury duty should be
paid what they can prove is their normal daily income, as long as they are on
duty. We fund the court system in
America for Justice, do we get Justice? Only if you can afford Justice?
