the rather minimal amount paid each day to jurors, plus payment for mileage from
home to court. In criminal trials this amount is paid by the government (usually
county government in state cases), but in civil lawsuits the jury fees are paid
by the parties to the lawsuit in equal amounts. It is important for a party requesting
a jury trial to deposit ("post") the first day's jury fees with the clerk of the
court a set time in advance of the trial date, or the right to a jury trial may
be lost on the basis that he/she/it has "waived" the right to a jury. The winner
of the lawsuit (prevailing party) is usually entitled to reimbursement (payment
by the loser) of jury fees as a court cost.
