Jury Duty - What Would You Wear ?

Here is a still from a TV drama, showing part of the jury box. It got me thinking about the various different dress styles. On my first Jury Duty I wore a suit and tie, and as a result (being the only one so dressed) the rest of them appointed me as Foreman. On my second spell I dressed casual, and we appointed someone else.

What did (or would) you wear when sitting on a Jury.

Finally, here is what the Gov Website has to say on the topic

[i] There is no strict dress code and you can wear clothes you’re comfortable in, such as jeans and a t-shirt.

Very casual clothing such as shorts or clothing with inappropriate logos or slogans are not allowed. [i]

Sometimes people steal sheep here. And a horsebox got stolen a few years back. Nothing really happens here!

Pick pockets and porn at Knightsbridge, plus big fraud cases.

I did jury service twice. Once on 1980+ once in 1990. I wore a whistle in 1980. And was involved in a case. In 1990 I dressed in casual clothes, and just sat round for a week.

Do you get paid for doing jury service or is employer expected to continue paying you normal salary?
And I retired and on a pension (private) do you still get paid?

A black cap.

I've never been called but would probably dress smart/casual.

My niece served once & was shocked by the way some of her fellow jurors treated the affair so lightly.

// or is employer expected to continue paying you normal salary?//

NHS does and time off: where I was, matron rang up juryman and said come back and do a night on duty!

Smart casual worked for me, no complaints from the usher or clerk

[rowanwitch]

If you are retired you just get the basic daily expenses payments

Incidentally, apart from age, you will probably be excluded if you have had depressive/stress related issues and are taking meds such as Prozac.
