Supposedly, you get reimbursed for gas used getting to the court house. I had Federal Jury Duty in Ocala and they also gave us money for car use. This was in 2009 or around there. I got challenged by the Judge as I was giving very short answers and not for NOTHING. It would take me a very long time to go over everything.
The Sonoma Courty DA representative challenged me for some reason around 1994 in a drug bust case but left a lady lawyer from San Francisco on the panel up to the point I left. The judge acknowledged seeing me around the law library in Santa Rosa as I had been examining their library collection from the perspective of a survivor/victim of crime trying to see what his or her rights were as well as what kind of local services were in or around Sonoma County.
Also did the same for the law library in Clearwater, FL for the Pinellas County Court. The judge knocked me out of the jury pool as soon as I said I had a law degree. This was around 2003.
They did not seem to allow people even to walk around in the Bushnell Sumter Court building that I recall. I have no idea if they even have a law library there?
