3-08/030.10 - Civil Trials - Jury Fees



Jury fees in civil cases are normally paid in advance by the attorney who requested the jury trial. In the event that the involved litigants desire the jury to be sequestered and taken to lunch, the bailiff shall obtain from the requesting attorney sufficient funds to cover the expense of feeding the jury and the bailiff. This may be done by obtaining a credit card, signed blank check or cash from the attorney. The bailiff shall supply an accounting and a receipt to the attorney for all funds expended.
