eJuror Will Lead To New List of Jury Duty Excuses

coondoggie writes "Now you can say your jury duty request got lost in the cloud, or that the network was down, or the Internet ate it. That's because the US District Court system is close to completing a rollout of its national eJuror system that lets prospective jurors have the option of responding to their jury questionnaire or summons online. About 80 of the 94 US district courts have had the eJuror software installed and more than half of those courts are already live on the system."

    Why should they pay you when you are not working?
    Take some vacation or go on unpaid leave. I applaud those that do, but really you should make sure you can survive without income for a few weeks or months.
