Middlesex County Superior Court Juror Reporting Information

Message From Assignment Judge Travis L. Francis

Welcome to jury service. Jurors are an essential and indispensable part of our justice system. In our country, the jury system is a constitutional mandate, which, as part of our Bill of Rights, protects the rights of both civil litigants and criminal defendants.

Thank you for serving the Middlesex County Court.

• You must wear your juror badge at all times, including during lunch.

Jury Fees

• You will receive compensation for your service beginning at a rate of $5.00 per day for the first three days and $40.00 per day for each day thereafter. Full-time State employees, municipal employees, and those employed by a school district will not receive payment since they will continue to receive their regular pay.
• Juror payroll is processed weekly so if your service extends across multiple weeks you will receive a separate check for each week. Payroll ends on Thursday; therefore, your attendance on Friday will be included in the following week's check.

The courthouse is a non-smoking facility. You may smoke outside the main entrance. Please sign out at the main desk before you leave the jury assembly room.
