Just wondering does having a criminal conviction make you unsuitable (unselectable) for jury service?

Yes it does Neil. You can't be a jurer if you're in or work for the police or certain parts of the civil service, and you can get off if you're a doctor, nurse or teacher.

I did Jury Duty last summer, was a royal pain in the ass. Was selected for two jurys, and thankfully both guys pleaded guilty. They do pay your travel etc for you.

yep they also pay x amount if your company dont pay your wages while attending.
worked it out i will lose money while attending,as their maximum is less than my weekly earnings

Over here they pay your employer your wages while you're not there, so they and you don't lose. They'll also pay for your company to employ someone in your place if you're in a jury for a certain extended amount of time.
