I've been summoned twice, and the first time I got a waiver because Tori was sick. (Tha's when she lost her hearing). The next time was for Superior Court, and I had to keep my schedule clear for a month. The good thing was they had to give you ten days notice, the bad thing was I was given notice midway through the month. Luckily, the trial was cancelled one day before it was due to start. If I had served on a jury in SC, I would have been paid something like $45 a day, as opposed to the lesser court's cheap rate of $10. That's the sad thing about jury duty- I think most people would do it, but they can't afford the financial hit. The only ones in that courtroom losing money are the defendants and the jurors.
