WHAT IS THE COMPENSATION FOR A JUROR? Payment for jury duty is $40.00 per day. The fee is based upon a calendar day of attendance, whether it is one hour or ten hours. Mileage is also paid at the statutory rate per mile for travel expense to and from the Courthouse.
A voir dire is a separate hearing in which the trier of law determines whether evidence is admissible and can potentially be entered into evidence in the trial. A voir dire can also be convened to determine the competence of a witness or to determine whether an expert witness is qualified to give evidence.
Every resident of the county served by a circuit court who is at least 18 years old, a U.S. citizen, and is able to understand the English language is qualified to serve as a juror in that court unless he or she has been convicted of a felony and has not had his or her civil rights restored.
All persons selected for jury service are selected at random. Wisconsin law provides that all qualified persons shall have an equal opportunity to be considered for jury service "and the obligation to serve as jurors when summoned" for that purpose. See Wisconsin Statutes Section 756.001(4).
The judge and attorneys ask the potential jurors questions, general or related to the specific case before them, to determine their suitability to serve on the jury. This process is called voir dire, which typically results in some prospective jurors being excused, based on their answers, from serving in that trial.
Jurors are randomly selected each year from the State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Division of Motor Vehicles driver's license and identification lists.
