رسوم هيئة المحلفين

يشير مفهوم رسوم هيئة المحلفين إلى راتب يومي يدفع لأعضاء هيئة المحلفين. وتختلف مصادر هذه الرسوم وفقًا لنوع المحاكمة. فتدفع الحكومة الرسوم الخاصة بـ المحاكمات الجنائية، في حين يتقاسم المتقاضون التكاليف المدفوعة في الدعوى المدنية باعتبارها جزءًا من مصاريف المحكمة. وفي حالات ليست بالقليلة، قد يتحمل العبء الكلي لتكاليف المحكمة الخاسر في الدعوى المدنية. وقد يكون الخصم الذي يطلب بوجود هيئة المحلفين مطالبًا بإيداع رسوم يوم واحد قبل إجراء المحاكمة.
