Jury Service

What fees are paid to jurors for service?

Jurors are paid $40.00 per day attendance fee (with the exception of Federal Government employees). You will also be paid a round trip mileage fee from your residence. Payment of parking fees varies by division office. See the local jury instructions for specifics for the courthouse you will be serving jury duty in. If a juror travels more than 70 miles, one-way, that person has the option to stay at a hotel/motel with reimbursement according to the fee schedule for the division they will be serving jury duty in. Jurors can call for the information. Hotel receipts will be required.
