Being a juror should be a well paying career. The current system makes no sense. No one is happy when they get their jury duty notice in the mail. People try to get out of jury duty once they know they have been chosen. One of the most searched question on Google is “How to get out of jury duty”.
Why don’t they employ the same team of jurors year round? Trials would always have jurors available, the jurors would be trustworthy, and the employed jurors would put their heart and soul into doing a thorough deliberation.
