Justice for all Charles, who is the special guest blogger over on "The 19th Floor," wrote about his jury duty experience in New York.
I can't understand it...I am 33 years old and have NEVER been called for jury service! This PISSES me off to no end! I have lived in 5 Michigan counties (**UPDATED: 7 Michigan counties** I missed a few.) since I turned 18 and always kept registered. My husband has been summoned twice since we met 9 years ago!
Michigan no longer has people register because so many were NOT doing the deed. Instead, the jury lottery is supposed to go by driver's license/ID card.
Still, I have never received The Summons. With part-time employment, kids too old for childcare, etc., I wouldn't even feel right to ask for my "pay/reimbursement."
Especially when I think jury service, like voting, is my civic duty AND a privilege!
