North Dakota jurors get a pay raise
BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – North Dakota jurors got a pay raise effective July 1.
Jurors’ pay will double from $25 for the first half-day and $50 for each full day of service to $50 and $100 respectively.
This change comes after the 2023 Legislature passed a bill to increase the pay.
On average, there are 257 trials held statewide each year, and every two years about 92,000 North Dakotans receive a jury summons and more than 9,000 are required to report for service.
