is self employed and works from home. Because he works from home, he is also the primary caretaker of our 18 month old son who we have worked very hard NOT to send to daycare a single day of his life. He was called by two different courts within one month of each other. I have been called at least once a year. Yet we have friends who have been called no more than, as they say, "once every seven years, like clockwork". How is that fair? If my husband has to appear for jury duty, we (1) have to put our son in daycare for the first time in his life (something we've worked hard not to do because our FIRST responsibility is as a parent) and (2) pay for said daycare and (3) lose his self employed income. In return, the court is kind enough to reimburse him $12 per day in the County of Maricopa. How can they ask ANYONE to accept $12/day in lieu of their income (which is far less than minimum wage), when they traditionally earn $75-100 per hour and then ask them to pay childcare and then reimburse them $12/day? It makes no sense. $12/day may have made sense 20-30 years ago, but not anymore. And the system has to be changed so that EVERYONE is equally called up for jury duty...not only people who (a) are registered to vote and (b) have a drivers license...but EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN. Haha wow guys. What
