In reply to Why Insurance is like Jury Duty, posted by fallsfall on April 28, 2005, at 15:01:17
I agree with Dinah although I'm not sure it's the legal equivalent of allowing your employees paid time off. Jury duty probably won't eat up that much of your time because cases end up settling all the time although sometimes you don't find that out until the night before the trial. In this regard, you probably don't want him scheduling something else in your time slot because things may open for you.
I have a friend who is a T who got summoned to jury duty. She was obviously concerned about not being available to her patients. I helped her formulate a letter to the judge which got her no where. Some judges are pretty tough about ever letting anyone out. Tell your T this is no different than if he got called for jury duty. The judge wouldn't let him out just because he was going to lose a bunch of income.
