The United States District Court will pay each juror an attendance fee of $50 per day of attendance plus a travel fee of 65.5 cents per mile (automobiles) or 63.5 cents per mile (motorcycles), paid round trip, to the juror's home town (Mileage Chart). Jurors whose one-way commute is more than 90 miles away from the Court are eligible to stay at a hotel within the San Juan Metro Area at government expense. Authorized lodging expenses for jurors attending a specific trial will be eligible for reimbursement. The payment will be made by check and mailed to the juror's home address. Jurors are paid twice a month. You are protected by federal statute from being discharged, intimidated or coerced by your permanent employer because of your attendance as a juror at this Court. See, Title 28, United States Code, Section 1875. The Court takes this matter very seriously and will do everything in its power to ensure that the job protection statute is enforced. For more information concerning employment protection of petit and grand jurors, read the Court's Order and Notice from the Clerk. The Jury Administration Office will provide any additional guidance or information you may require. |
