Court per-diem

What courts pay jurors, ranked

The daily fee the court itself pays (separate from any employer wages). Many states pay a token amount; a few pay $50–$100 a day.

Petit-juror per-diem paid by the court (first/standard day), ranked. 9 jurisdictions set per-diem locally (county-by-county or pegged to minimum wage) with no single statewide figure, and are omitted here rather than shown as a guessed amount. Where a state pays a higher rate for extended service, this chart shows the standard day rate. See each state page for the full schedule and citation.
