Defined terms: "Circuit court" § 1-101
"Prospective juror" § 8-101
"Qualified juror" § 8-101
8-426. AMOUNT.
(A). BASIC.
SUBJECT TO SUBSECTION (B) OF THIS SECTION, AN INDIVIDUAL IS ENTITLED,
FOR EACH DAY THAT AN INDIVIDUAL IS REQUIRED TO BE IN ATTENDANCE AT OR
PROXIMITY TO A CIRCUIT COURT FOR A COUNTY FOR JURY SERVICE, TO:
(1) A STATE PER DIEM OF $15; AND
(2) THE SUPPLEMENT, IF ANY, AUTHORIZED BY THE COUNTY.
(B) TRIAL JUROR
A TRIAL JUROR IS ENTITLED:
(1) FOR THE FIRST 5 DAYS OF JURY SERVICE IN ONE TRIAL, TO A STATE
PER DIEM OF $15; AND
(2) FOR EACH DAY OF JURY SERVICE IN ONE TRIAL IN EXCESS OF 5
DAYS, A STATE PER DIEM OF $50.
COMMITTEE NOTE: Subsections (a)(1) and (b) of this section are new language
derived without substantive change from former CJ § 8-106(b) and revised
to clarify that the enhanced per diem is for a single lengthy trial.
Subsection (a)(2) of this section is added to state expressly that an
individual is entitled to the county supplement, if any, authorized under
revised CJ § 8-427.
In the introductory language of subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the
words "is entitled ... to" are substituted for the former words "shall
receive", to reflect that an individual may decline a per diem or
supplement. See, e.g., revised CJ § 8-430.
In the introductory language of subsection (a) of this section, reference to
being "in ... proximity to" court is added for consistency to former CJ §
8-106(a) revised CJ § 8-425.
Also in the introductory language of subsection (a) of this section, the word
"individual" and the phrase "for jury service" are substituted for the former
word "juror", to clarify that prospective, qualified, and sworn jurors all are
covered.
In the introductory language of subsection (b) of this section, reference to a
"trial" juror is substituted for the former reference to a "juror called to
serve as a petit juror", for brevity and conformity with the Council on Jury
Use and Management's preference for language more understandable to
the public.
