Will I be paid for being a juror?

Yes. The 40th District Court issues a re-loadable prepaid MasterCard for paying jurors. Jurors receive the card prior to leaving the court building, upon conclusions of their service. Funds are available immediately and may be used anywhere MasterCard is accepted. (Please be sure to read the packet of information given with the card for details.)

Public Act 51 [MCL 600.1344] dictates that juror mileage reimbursement rate. 

Juror Compensation is as follows:

  • For the first day or half day of actual attendance at the court, not less than $30 per day and $15 per half day.
  • For each subsequent day or half day of actual attendance at the court, not less than $45 per day and $22.50 per day
