HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The Hawaii State Judiciary announced that beginning Wednesday, individuals serving as jurors in Hawaii state courts will receive $50 per day, an increase from the previous rate of $30 per day. <\/p>\n

The increase marks the first adjustment to juror compensation since 1989, when the daily rate increased from $20 to $30.<\/p>\n

While juror compensation is not intended to replace lost wages, the increase recognizes the rising cost of living over the past several decades and the time and commitment required.<\/p>\n

\u201cJury service is one of the highest forms of public service,\u201d Chief Justice Vladimir P. Devens said. \u201cJurors bring the judgment, experience, and values of our community into the courtrooms, helping ensure that cases are decided fairly and impartially. Increasing juror compensation recognizes the time and sacrifice that jury service involves. We are grateful to the Legislature and Governor Green for recognizing the importance of jury service by supporting and funding this increase in juror compensation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jurors serve as impartial decision-makers, carefully evaluating the evidence presented in court and applying the law as instructed by the judge.<\/p>\n

Increasing juror compensation decreases financial barriers that might otherwise discourage service, helping ensure that jury pools reflect Hawaii\u2019s diverse communities. A jury that reflects a broad cross-section of the community strengthens the fairness and integrity of the judicial process while reinforcing public confidence in the courts.<\/p>\n
