The Court believes that your highest compensation for jury service is the satisfaction that you have helped contribute to the fair administration of justice. The Court is aware, however, that jury service interrupts the normal course of your life and takes you away from important activity. Therefore, the Court will pay you a fee for each day of service and reimburse you for transportation expense.
A fee of Forty Dollars ($40.00) is paid for a full day of service (anytime beyond 12:00 noon) and a fee of Twenty Dollars ($20.00) is paid for half day service or less (anytime before 12:00 noon). A transportation allowance is provided. Residents of Water Island and St. John receive an allowance of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and residents of St.Croix and St. Thomas receive an allowance of Five Dollars ($5.00) per day.
