 Petit jurors listed for service in both courts shall have the 
 same qualifications and shall be selected by the district court 
 under the same procedure as is now provided by law for selecting 
 jurors for service in the district court.  Jurors summoned for 
 service in the county court shall report to and be excused, 
 governed, instructed and controlled by the chief judge of the 
 county court or a designee.

 juror when duly drawn and summoned is punishable as contempt of 
 court.

    Subd. 6.    Compensation.  Jurors shall be paid from 
 the county treasury the same compensation and mileage as jurors 
 in the district court of the county where the county court is 
 located.  The court administrator shall deliver to the county 
 auditor a certificate showing the number of days of service and 
 the mileage for which each is entitled to receive compensation.  
 This certificate shall be filed with the county auditor who 
 shall issue a warrant on the county treasurer for the amount 
 due.  Any juror regularly summoned who actually attends at the 
 time named in the summons is entitled to a per diem and mileage 
 whether or not sworn as a juror.
