Well you're both getting more then you do for the one court I was called for in Oregon! You get paid $10 for the first 2 days and then it goes up to something else after that. Plus $0.20 a mile for gas round trip. I didn't have to sit on the jury though. They had 3 groups that day. One actually had a case, the other's defendant changed his plea, and mine decided he didn't want a jury after all! I don't know how it works in other states but here you're given a date and if you go in on that date and aren't needed then you're excused for 2 years. I think someone needed to tell their computer that though because I got a summons for 1 month after I served! Must not update their computer too often!
