Payment for extended jury duty?
603718
Every state has it's own rules.  I've served on juries in TX and MO.  Neither paid very much, certainly a fraction of my regular pay.\n\nMy company allowed me to choose if I wanted to keep the jury pay or turn it over to them.  If I turned it over to the company I would be paid my regular salary regardless of the length of the trial.  If I kept it, I would be put on vacation until my vacation pay ran out and then on unpaid leave of absense for the remainder of the time.  As the jury pay was only about 10% of my regular salary, I signed the check over to the company.\n\nMost states have laws that will protect your job if you are serving on a jury.  It's generally left up to the employer as to how to handle the pay issue.  Many larger companies are like mine, but not all of my fellow jurors were so lucky.  As they say, Freedom isn't Free!

One of these days it will be in the mailbox. It will tell you when and where to report. If you need to get out you can ask for a different date, or go and talk to the judge and explain why it would be a hardship for you to serve. The odds of getting out depend on where you live and how difficult it is to get quilified jurors. If you can serve do it and you will probably enjoy the experience.

Your fee sounds reasonable, but you can probably increase it a little. Just hike it $5.00/hour (plead expenses such as gas have increased) for about 3 or 6 months, then hike it $5.00 again.

yes, but you pay a penalty ... you can file for an extension though.

Likely not - what she should do is pay any portion of the $ 150 in court costs. Even if she only pays $ 20, that will demonstrate good faith and intent and then the court will likely grant her an extension. If she pays nothing then she will be in default of payment and letters will come, collection agency etc all. \n\nJust pay something to show good intent.

Depends on the state....in Texas for example, there is no cap on fines...and if you receive two or more citations during one year, the state will send you a bill for surcharges ranging from $100.00 to $2500.00.\n\nFighting the automated tickets can be tough; especially if you are guilty.  If in fact, you are not guilty, request a trial by jury.  If the trial ever happens, the juries are usually sympathetic to the camera cases.  In Texas, they were banned when a state judge received a ticket in the mail for doing 328 miles per hour in a 45 mile per hour zone in a Buick.\n\nThe best way to handle any ticket if you have a clean record, is to request defferred adjudication or request to complete defensive driving course and the offense will be dismissed.\n\nGood Luck and drive safe!

When I received my ticket in June, I called the Clerk of the Court in your county. They can tell you all that info plus the website so you can pay your ticket via the Internet...Hope this helps!

You need to contact Cook County Clerk of the Court. They should be able to let you know. Usually, as long as you didn't miss your trial, you get your bond money back, but sometimes they take out any court costs if tehyre not already paid.

That question is nearly impossible to answer for a number of reasons.  There may be things about you that make you a desirable juror or an undesireable juror.  And experiences differ so widely.\n\nI am an attorney in California and I am 37.  I have been summoned for to jury duty 4 times in state court, but I have never served on a jury.  I've never been summoned for federal court.  My wife is 38.  She has been summoned once for state and once for federal court.  She served on jury in a rape case.\n\nMy dad is 60 and he's served on one jury.  My mom is 58 and never served on a jury.  My sister is 36 and has never been summoned for jury duty.  Who knows how to explain such a wide variety of experiences and what implications that has for you?

Once they arrive for a jury pool, and are selected to serve on the jury. In addition, the minimum age for being selected even for a jury pool is 18. Furthermore, failure to appear once you have been issued a summons for Jury Duty will result in a Bench Warrant for your arrest. It is your civic duty. My own opinion, I always vote guilty. Too many times does a criminal get away with the crime they committed due to technicalities. So, it's my way of evening up the odds. :)

Clarify your question or re write it. If not just simply pay the fee and keep on going.

more people for jury duty?

That would depend entirely on the particular court the jury is for.  Municipal, County, District, State, Federal...\nEach will have, or not have, it's own website with whatever tools are available.  If you've received a summons, and the information included does not indicate such as site, then it probably doesn't exist.  Even if you find it, don't get your hopes up.  Just do your civic duty and show up.

I think there are several options for you to choose from. \n\nYes you can be placed on a payment program,don't miss a payment or the court will issue a warrant for your arrest as you are under a court order to pay. They will not take excuses, so if you have financial problems please call.\n\n(This is not Wal-Mart the customer service is not all that friendly)\n\nSome jurisdictions will allow you to do community services instead of paying a fine, when and if you are allowed to do this again please show up on time. All the excuses in the world will not keep the judge from rescinding the community service and turn it into jail time.\n\nYou may also serve jail time, complete it and walk away after your time is up.\n\nI hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.\n\n"FIGHT ON"

He doesn't have to pay the court before leaving. In Massachusetts if you choose to appeal a speeding ticket you see a court magistrate before you get to an actual judge. They use this method to weed out the frivolous cases. At the court magistrate a state trooper will be there (not the one who issued the ticket) and all he will simply do is read what is basically on your ticket. The court magistrate will then ask you to state your side. If the magistrate rules in your favor, you are of course all set. They can also reduce the amount of your ticket (but you'll still face insurance surcharges). If you are not satisfied with the outcome you can appeal it once more to an actual judge. If you choose to do this you HAVE to pay a court fee of $20 at this time. At the real hearing you will be allowed to submit evidence, testify, and the officer who ticketed you will HAVE to show up or the case will be ruled in your favor by default. \nI came across this question because I just happened to be looking up speeding tickets today because I actually just won my case in front of the magistrate today by default. The state trooper said that "The commonwealth of massachusetts is not prepared to proceeed with this case today" and the magistrate said "ok then you're found not responsible." If your friend takes it to trial and he loses he then has a 20 day period to pay the fine or he can ask for an extention...anyway hope this helps.

None of us has time! but... it is your civic duty to participate now and again!  There are specific criteria that will relieve you of jury duty, but you still need to show up and allow the judge to review your petition/request and dismiss you legally.  As far as trying to act like a @#$ a..hole in the courtroom and prejudice your responses, be careful-you can be held in contempt and perjury in a courtroom is very expensive!!
