I realized belatedly that I'd crossposted; I'm reading this thread on frugal-living. However I'll crosspost again to ask if in CA--or where you live--there's no call-in system that's customary where I live. Everyone in the pool reports for the first session, but then jurors who aren't excused only have to report on days when a new jury will be convened. Even on those days the process hasn't lasted till later than about 10:30 or 11 a.m. If people in fact have to report every day for a month and/or sit around all day, no wonder people aren't willing to serve. The grand jury, of course, operates differently. I've had the amazing luck to sit on one not once but twice. Once selected grand jurors do have to spend all day deliberating, but on the first day they're given a schedule of what the days will be for the month. I think it worked out to about 8 days each time I served.
