Do you guys get jury pay down south? In BC, we don't (except maybe a $20 or so per diem)--your employers are expected but not required to pay you for jury duty. As much as I would love to be on a jury (having studied forensics, legal-social issues etc.) I wouldn't have been able to do so and survive while living on my own.
As important as it is and as much of a duty and a priviledge as it is, I can understand why people try to get out of it sometimes...
Best of luck mizwanned, keep us posted

It was $20/day, but I was also paid by my employer even though I was not at work.
I understand how difficult it would be. When I was a single mother, I returned to school. If I had been called then it would've been a hardship for me, too.
