I was selected for another jury about 10 years ago (another civil case), but the case was settled out of court just before the trial was supposed to start. Then about 5 years ago I sat around the courthouse in downtown Chicago and was sent home around 4:00 pm, never getting selected.
Most of the people I know in Cook County who are registered voters around my age have never been called for jury duty or called only once.
I hope I haven't jinxed myself. I have no idea what my current employer's policy is on paying employees for jury duty.  |
With everything that has happened to me or to those around me I think I should have a warning label.
My Dad worked insurance claims on just about any hurricane, fire and earthquake in the US from around 1989 through 1995. That includes Hurricane Andrew and the 1989 SF Bay area earthquake.
