About JurorPay

A plain-English, statute-cited answer to a question almost every US adult eventually asks.

Mission

When a jury summons arrives, the practical questions are immediate: will my employer keep paying me, can I be fired for serving, and what does the court itself pay? The answers are public law — but they sit scattered across 51 legislatures and court systems, and the pages that rank for these questions are mostly HR-software marketing aimed at employers, not at the person holding the summons. JurorPay flips that around: a consumer-first state picker, a four-card answer in plain English, and a primary-source citation on every claim.

Editorial standards

We read figures from state legislative-information systems and court administrative offices, cite the URL, and date-stamp every verification. We never publish a guessed number — if we can't confirm a state's rule from a primary source, it carries a visible “provisional” badge until we can. See the methodology for the full process and the sources page for every citation.

Editorial review

Jury-leave and anti-retaliation rules are employment law, so the summaries are being put in front of a licensed employment attorney for review. We publish that reviewer's real name, bar number, state, and profile once secured — and never a placeholder.

Editorial review

An employment attorney from our review pool is being onboarded to sign off on the jury-leave and anti-retaliation summaries. Until that review is complete, every figure on the site links directly to the state legislature or court primary source so you can verify it yourself. We will publish the reviewer's name, bar number, state, and profile here once secured — and never a placeholder name.
