Municipal courts are not required to pay persons who serve as jurors in their courts.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Depends on the case
• D. Only in civil matters

Answer: (A)

Juror compensation is set by statutes and local policy, not by the mere fact that a case is heard in municipal court. Because there is no universal mandate that all municipal courts must pay jurors, the statement is correct: municipalities are not required to pay jurors. In practice, some jurisdictions provide a small daily stipend and mileage, while others offer little or no pay, with the specifics depending on state or local rules rather than the court itself. The key idea is that payment rules vary by jurisdiction and aren’t a mandatory obligation of every municipal court, so the claim that they are not required to pay is the best fit.
