Justices Seek Supreme Court Ruling On Jury Costs
Des Moines justices of the peace ask the supreme court to decide if defendants in civil cases must pay jury costs in advance. Judge McHenry ruled they need not, while Justice Van Liew and others argue advance payment is required to seat juries. The issue arose from a case where a defendant demanded a jury but refused to pay costs upfront. The matter may affect jury accessibility and court procedures across Iowa.
