Municipal courts are not required to pay jurors.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. They must pay jurors in all cases
• D. They pay only if the defendant is indigent

Answer: (A)

Juror compensation is determined by statute and varies by jurisdiction; municipal courts are not universally required to pay jurors. In many places, the obligation to pay jurors falls to the county or state, or jurors may simply be reimbursed for expenses, rather than the municipal court itself guaranteeing payment. Because there isn’t a universal mandate that all municipal courts must pay jurors, the statement is considered true. The other options imply a blanket requirement or a link to the defendant’s indigence, which does not reflect how juror pay is typically handled across different jurisdictions.
