Which is true about municipal courts paying jurors?

• A. Municipal courts must pay their jurors
• B. Municipal courts are not required to pay their jurors
• C. Municipal courts pay jurors only if they choose to
• D. Jurors are paid by the state government

Answer: (B)

Juror pay comes from state-level funding, not from the city or municipal court budget. Because the state handles juror compensation, a municipal court isn’t required to pay its jurors. The broader fact that jurors are paid by the state explains why local courts don’t bear that expense. The question focuses on the municipal court’s obligation, so the correct statement is that municipal courts are not required to pay their jurors.
