Do you get paid if you are choosen to be on the jury?

Answer 1

its a couple bucks a day

Answer 2

Where I live, they barely offer compensation for mileage.

Thankfully, the program is set up so if you are not seated on a jury by the end of the first day, you don't have to come back for a year.

If you are self employed, you can inform the jury clerk and they will place you on a fast-track trial that won't last more than three days.

Answer 3

ABSOLUTELY! If you have been asked to perform Jury Duty, then you must be a decent citizen (no one is perfect, you would want self riotous people on a jury anyway) and I know people who just think of ways to get out of it because they can't afford to miss work (Pay) If They agree to perform the duty the courts could verify their wage and give them a comparable wage for Jury Duty. More people would be willing and would have less retired people, who's age puts them in a different category. NOT a jury of their "peers".

Answer 4

Yes you do but it's an amount that cannot support your bills and rent! I have been chosen for jury selection in the past but had to turn it down because of financial hardship. I think it would be interesting and fun as a contribution to society but the pay makes it difficult for a lot of people to participate in unless you have piles of money and money is of no concern. I would have only received something like $7.50 per day if I was able to participate.

Answer 5

That depends on your state (and country). Some states will pay you a token amount (like $5 per day), and some will pay nothing. Most employers, however, will pay you your full salary while you are out on Jury Duty. Note that different states have different legal requirements on this and usually your employer is not obligated to pay you for time you are not working.
Best option, is to call your state's or county's courthouse and find out directly from them.

Answer 6

In the county where I live in NC, you get 12 dollars a day. A real incentive - NOT. The old saying rings true - if you face a jury, it is not of your peers, it's 12 people dumb enough not to get out of jury duty.

Answer 7

You're paid by check within a couple of weeks of serving on a jury. If I remember correctly, I believe it's about $12 / hour.

Answer 8

Attending to a jury duty is paid but the amount is only minimal.

Answer 9

It is a nominal fee but yes jury members do get paid.

Answer 10

Texas jurors are paid $6 per day. Bactoring in parking at the courthouse ($12 per day), the stipend is insufficient. However, considering it's your civic duty, the majority of the citizens serve with pride.

Answer 11

$25. for actual jury duty-where you attend a trial
$15.00 if you are called to come to the court house-the evening before your Number is not on the list that does not havae to report but when you go to the courthouse etc you are told you are not needed after all.
