The average length of most trials is 2-5 days. If a prospective juror is impaneled as a County Grand Juror, then they must serve two days per week over a period of 120 days. If a prospective juror is selected as a State Grand Juror, then they must serve for three days each month over a period of six months. Once you have completed your jury service, you do not have to serve again for at least one year. If you receive a summons within a year of serving, please contact the Jury Commissioner's Office.
All jurors are eligible for a round-trip mileage allowance.
The number of miles for each juror is calculated based upon where the juror lives, using the juror's residential zip code. When prospective jurors report for jury service, they may look up their specific mileage allowance amount on the mileage charts located in the Jury Assembly Room. In addition, jurors who are selected to be on a jury panel will also receive a per diem for each day of service. Juror pay checks are mailed approximately three weeks after jury service is completed. Employers are not required to pay employees while they are on jury service.
