California AB1277 would study the impact of increased juror compensation and mileage reimbursement on juror diversity and participation.

California AB1277 would amend the Code of Civil Procedure to have the Judicial Council sponsor a pilot program for two fiscal years. The program would study whether increasing juror compensation and mileage reimbursement rates would increase juror diversity and participation. The Judicial Council would select at least six trial courts, including the County of Alameda, to participate in the pilot program. The pilot courts would collect demographic information as part of the study.
