Is it against the law to report to jury duty and work on the same day?
It would depend on the relevant legislation in your area. Probably it wouldn't be acceptable to take your laptop and phone along to jury duty in order to work while attending court or deliberating, though there mightn't be a problem during breaks. If your jury duty is completed for the day, there shouldn't be any reason to prevent you from returning to work. Again, it all depends on your local legislation.
Your wife was fired for doing jury duty is this legal?
It most likely was not legal. Jury duty is a compulsory duty imposed by law and it may not be interfered with by private individuals or companies. States have laws that require employers to permit their employees to fulfill jury duty requirements without retaliation. Employers cannot be forced to pay an employee for time missed from work, but they cannot take any adverse action against you for going. Same in the UK and all civilized countries, providing the employer is made aware of the duty. An individual or company with a strong case can ask for a deferral of duty.

Get out of jury duty?
If you receive a summons to appear for jury duty then you must appear,There are exemptions that can get you excused from jury duty such as health or medical reasons,financial hardships and other circumstances...If you wish to be removed from all future summons of jury duty then simply go to the court clerk and be taken off the list,most states allow citizens to opt out of future jury duty... Correction to my original post has been made because information was found to be too conflicting to determine properly.Added: Jury duty is a civic responsibility, and regardless of your 'desire' to be excused from it, every case of "hardship" stands on its own merits and must be evaluated and ruled on individually.ADDED: All you have to do to get out of jury duty is to go to the DMV, get a new driver's license with a new address on it (outside of the court's jurisdiction) and take it to the clerk of courts and tell them you are in the process of moving to that address and to send all future correspondence to that new address. Either they will be forced to pay you travel time from that new address to the court each day or they will take you off the list. It's obvious that they'll take you off the list. They don't have the funds to check up on you to see if you actually moved and if they did you can always say your plans fell through and you decided not to move. It worked for me and you can always get your license changed back again.Why should you have to work jury duty for slave labor wages while the fat cat judges, union police, lawyers, DA's, etc. get fat salaries and pensions off of your hard-earned tax dollars?
