When was $10 set as the Jury Duty payment? Was it when $10 really was something? I mean, it might pay for parking now, and for sure not lunch. I think Jury Duty pay needs to be brought up to date.

Dallas County doesn't pay anything. They offer you a free DART pass, like you're supposed to think that's some kind of good deal. My hometown in Georgia paid $25 a day, more if you were on a grand jury.

Most employers will actually pay you your normal hours, and you turn the $10 or $20 a day over to them. I think many states allow them to write that expense off on taxes.
And given the low jury differential pay the easiest way to get out of jury duty is to simply state that your employer does not reimburse you for the time, and it would be a financial hardship.

i think they do $11 here...
maybe you should stop going to a fine dining restaurant by yourself for lunch then...$10 should buy a meal in any city in the United States without any trouble at all...especially lunch.

You will most likely pay more in taxes than you ever receive from this.
Seems a little pointless... jury duty is a responsibility of citizens for our system of governance not a job/something you should get paid for.

Nope. Not in Washington State, anyway. "Your employer is not required to pay you while you are on jury duty, however, employers are prohibited by law from firing an employee for serving as a juror. RCW 2.36.165"
So they couldn't fire him but they could make him use his vacation time if he wanted to have money during that time period.
And my original statement was that I think the courts/judicial system should pay your regular salary/rate, not that your employer should have to. If they want people to serve willingly then they should make it worth it. Won't ever happen though. The closest they might ever come is requiring employers to pick up the tab for employees on jury duty.

They should make you pay for jury duty.
Face it, you lost the lottery when they called you for jury duty,
You lose again if they pick you for a jury,
They might as well collect from you as well.
Better yet, the loser of the case should pay the jury after the trial. Then again, the winner might have already paid before the trial
