Edit
Got put on a panel and sent to a courtroom. I got lucky and was not picked. It was a civil case.
But!! I have to call after 5pm and see if the need me tomorrow. So it's like I'm on call all week?

Hell, just wear a MAGA shirt or hat. If you survive, you at least won't have jury duty anymore. Ever!

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
So if you're self employed you have to compensate yourself with a day's pay?

Get a burner phone and call in a bomb threat, that will empty the courthouse

My wife is self-employed. We siphon off earnings each month to cover typical leave situations (Illness, vacation, jury duty, etc.)
We also understand the “long” game of these situations.
