Say you identify as a butt, and when asked a question stand up turn around and use your hands to move your butt cheeks while you respond.

I find it very interesting and educational. I served on a Grand Jury for 6 months.

How many days would they meet in a typical month?

Not everyone works Monday-Friday, 9-5 schedules. If you work weekends or evenings/nights and get summoned for jury duty on Monday morning when you'd normally be off work, it sucks. Or if you work a job where you depend on commission or tips, you ain't getting paid to sit in a courthouse all day.
This is fair. But I put upholding the Constitution up there equally...

Louisiana prohibits an employer from discharging or taking any other adverse employment action against an employee for being called to serve or serving jury duty, so long as the employee gives the employer reasonable notice of the jury obligation after receiving the summons. Employers who unlawfully discharge employees for serving jury duty may be subject to fines of not less than $100 and not more than $1,000, for each discharge and may be ordered to reinstate the employee with the same wage rate and benefits they enjoyed prior to the discharge. Louisiana Stat. 23:965.
so you cannot be fired. nothing to do with my point
quote:one day of pay? wow. thanks so much. not so awesome when in a jury trial for days or weeks.
When employees are called or subpoenaed to server on a state petit or grand jury, or central jury pool, the employer is required to pay up to one (1) days wages and the employee cannot be required to take any vacation, sick, or other accrued personal leave while responding to the call or subpoena. Employers who unlawfully discharge employees for serving jury duty may be subject to fines of not less than $100 and not more than $1,000, for each discharge and may be ordered pay the employee one day’s wages without reduction in vacation, sick, or other personal leave. Louisiana Stat. 23:965.

Do your fricking civil duties. If the defendant in your case is guilty of stealing something from the government will you empathize or prosecute?

How many jury trials take that long?
A lot of them go very quickly and are done in 1-2 days.
Long trials that take a week or more happen but they are the exception rather than the rule.

So you're going to get paid less than what they charge you to park at the courthouse?
Why are they even charging you to park at the courthouse?

Some people actually like their jobs.

several months ago I reported for jury duty and not enough showed up to allow selection for a trial so it was deferred. judge proceeded to discuss with us the sorry state of jury participation. fines and jail were described as a financial looser for the county. cost more to process than recover with penalty. I believe that low participation is due to disrespect of the legal system

Ask if the death penalty is on the table. Defense attorneys love to hear that from potential jurors.
Posted on 10/7/19 at 11:08 am to BayouRat15
I don't understand how some people have never gotten a jury notice..In my life I must have gotten at least 8 of them..But have never served..Since I have moved to Jefferson Parish (10 years) I have gotten 3..
