Last time I served was around 10 years ago. At the time (in Eaton County) it was $7.00/day + mileage - but, you actually had to drive to Charlotte every day. Not sure if it was because of the kind of trials I was sitting on or because Charlotte hadn't gotten phones yet :). Had a boss actually nice enough to pay me, and thank goodness because I was called for the entire month! (Tues & Weds of each week) and I sat on /all four/ of the trials! Never so disgusted with humans as I was with the cretins on jury duty but /that/ is another story. Anyhoo.. I totally agree it should be /at least/ the minimum wage (which is up quite a bit now in MI). Better still your actual wage or a percenage thereof. Maybe more people (sane people) would be willing to sit & do their "civic duty" if they were paid in such a way that made them feel it was appreciated. Just my 50 cents worth.
