PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION TO INCREASE JUROR PAY
Plaintiffs propose that the parties enter into an agreement to raise the standard juror pay
for the duration of trial Given the nature of the case, the trial is likely to be a prolonged and
burdensome experience for jurors particularly in a time when inflation has been rampant and
juror pay has not yet been increased in Harris County. Plaintiffs propose that each juror be paid
an additional $200.00 per day and that the parties split the costs equally.
ONCLUSION
Accordingly, Plaintiffs propose that each juror be paid an additional $200.00 per day. The
additional compensation should be allocated 50% to Plaintiffs and 50% to Defendants.
Respectfully ubmitted,
