$100-a-day juror pay: Legislation would raise stipends statewide to improve jury diversity

Assemblymember Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, has introduced new legislation that would pay low- to middle-income California residents $100 a day when serving jury duty.

Assembly Bill 881, labeled “Be the Jury California,” seeks to build on San Francisco’s pilot program that raised jury service stipends for criminal trials from $15 per day to $100.
