I have jury duty tomorrow and have heard that different states (maybe cities) pay different "wages" for jury duty. I know we get nothing for the first three days (unless our employer pays) and then $50 a day. What does your state do? We also have to pay to park in the parking garage if we don't get one of the 93 free spaces (600 people are required to show up tomorrow). Just curious.

In California (or at least in So. Cal.), you don't get paid the first day but you get $15/day after that. Parking/transportation is on your own. The place I usually get called to has free parking and it is a big lot, enough for everyone.

we get something like $15 a day. parking is about $20. I was pissed the third day of jury duty one time when the clerks went on strike 1 hour after I arrived... there is no public parking and the courts are located in the center of the city..but not by the main train/subway lines

Here everyone is paid $6.00/day just for showing up for the jury pool. If you are selected to serve, then you receive $40/day. Parking fees vary. For the municipal court I was called to in Dec., I paid $10 to park, so my $6.00 didn't even cover it. DD was called for District Court in Feb. They have a parking garage with a reduced rate of $6.00, so her $6.00 check covered her parking cost. Our county also allows you to donate your jury pay to one of two charities if you so choose.

I don't know in my local county, I have had to call in but never have been selected. However, I did get a summons for US District Court recently. I have to call in 5 times starting next Friday. You only have to serve once but basically are on call for a month. They pay 40 dollars a day plus cover 10.00 for parking. I live 59 miles away and they only cover hotel if you are 70 miles away. I think I will get a taste of what a commute to Denver is going to be like if I get selected. *edited to add that they will cover .54 cents per mile for the commute. My employer will cover my normal salary minus the 40.00 for a period of 5 days.

The place I usually get called to has free parking and it is a big lot, enough for everyone. Same up here in NorCal. It's free parking at the satellite courthouse in the next town over. If you get called to the main courthouse in the county seat, it's still free parking, but they send you a permit to park in a special lot just for jurors. Parking is really tight in that city/county center area, even though it's a small city and a small, mostly rural county. I get called all the time, but never chosen. Too much life experience. ETA I have actually served on juries twice in my life, though. But usually I get bumped.

Found it! "You will be paid $18.50 for the first day of service and $49 for each subsequent day of service. Some employers are willing to pay their workers at the normal rate during jury service, and the workers then turn over the jury fee to the employer. If you have to drive more than 50 miles to the courthouse, the court will pay you $1 for each four-mile increment over 50 miles, one-way." OMG, I don't have a life. I want jury duty.

oh, we get paid for mileage, too. I think they figure it out and send a check later on, if I'm remembering correctly.

In New Zealand it's NZ$31 for each half day of service - after 5 days it goes up to $40. Jurors receive extra payments if they're required between 6-9pm and more again after 9pm. The court will also reimburse reasonable travel expenses like public transport costs and mileage/reasonable parking costs if you travel by car and no free parking is available. People can also claim up to $80 per day for professional childcare/$40 for non-professional.
ETA I'm not eligible for jury service as I'm a lawyer.

We get $15 / day in our county (each county does it differently in my state) - Daily parking at the courthouse is $6 but if I recall correctly from my last jury duty (last Sept), they give you a code when you check in for duty so when you leave, you enter the code and do not have to pay for parking.

I have it next month. Not happy about it! My daughter will just be getting home from college, and we had plans to do some fun things before her sisters get out of school. We are in PA and get paid $9 a day the first three days and $25 a day after. PA is cheap!
What do you wear the first day? Jeans and boots if it's cold or capris if it's warm? I have no professional or dress clothes! And I am not buying anything for jury duty. We are on a tight no spending except food/toiletries.
Have never done this before. What goes on, what should we expect at jury duty? I have a law degree, but have been a sahm for 19 yrs. I have a feeling I will get picked just because of the law degree.

We also have to pay to park in the parking garage if we don't get one of the 93 free spaces (600 people are required to show up tomorrow). Just curious. The last time I went it was $20 a day and your parking was paid. I'm lucky in that I'm salaried so I get paid as well. Of course, if I'm dismissed early I'm expected to return to work. I'd also work on anything urgent after my jury day is done.

$50??? Dang! If you'r employer doesn't pay you for time off (and you sign an affidavit attesting to that), they pay you a whopping $15 a day. I think if it goes more than 5 days, it goes up to $30 a day. Parking is validated, however.

$12.50 per day and there is no paid parking but you better get there early because there's also not a lot of parking.

I served on jury 2 years ago. I was paid $35/day plus mileage. I live 2 miles from downtown so mileage wasn't much. My company pays for jury duty so I received my regular pay and had to turn in my check. Parking was not paid and I had to buy lunch everyday (free at work) so my out of pocket cost was around $200 for the 6 day trial.

I think I got a check in the mail last time for around $40. That included the day plus mileage. I have it next month. Not happy about it! My daughter will just be getting home from college, and we had plans to do some fun things before her sisters get out of school. We are in PA and get paid $9 a day the first three days and $25 a day after. PA is cheap! What do you wear the first day? Jeans and boots if it's cold or capris if it's warm? I have no professional or dress clothes! And I am not buying anything for jury duty. We are on a tight no spending except food/toiletries. Have never done this before. What goes on, what should we expect at jury duty? I have a law degree, but have been a sahm for 19 yrs. I have a feeling I will get picked just because of the law degree. The times I have been called, you would have been dismissed because of the degree (if they knew about it). From my observations, both sides want people who they can easily sway to their side rather than people who will think for themselves. I base my observation on dress, mannerisms, and answers to questions, which can be totally misleading but are the same thing the lawyers have to go on. I don't think I have seen anyone who appeared to be a professional actually seated in the jury. That said, for our local court, most people were in jeans. In federal court, most people were dressed business casual.

I think we get less than $20 a day. Luckily my employer will pay me full wages minus what the court pays so other than parking I am not out any money.

Another Californian here. $15 per day, plus $.34 per mile one-way. In my county, there are only a few free parking spaces. If you get called for service, you get a permit to park on a metered side street or in the top layer of parking garage that is fairly close. I used to live within 1.5 miles so I would just walk to and from the courthouse.

In California, jurors are paid $15.00 per day and $0.34 per mile, one way, for the second day of service and every day thereafter.
When I went in November, I only served one day and paid over $20 for parking.

$10 per day. Parking is not an issue as there is plenty of street parking around the courthouse.
Ks does not have a law that employers have to pay for employees missing work for jury duty. My employer does not pay. So we would go unpaid or take your vacation time to cover the lost hours.
We had an employee who was selected to the jury pool for a very high profile murder/child porn trial that was expected to last 6 weeks. He was freaking out because he only had 2 weeks worth of vacation saved and couldn't afford to take a month off work. He made it to the final cut and said he had to beg and plead with the judge to dismiss him because of the financial hit he would have to endure. He said several others had the same issue. But he was the last person cut from the jury so he managed to luck out that time around.
