I can weigh in a little bit. In the United States about eight states have enacted legislation that requires employers to compensate employees who are summoned for jury service with their regular wages for a certain period of time. Typically it's about three to five days, so up to a week of jury service. That is enough to cover probably about 90% or 95% of most the trials in the United States. That actually puts the burden on employers, largely because they are deriving the benefit of the justice system by virtue of their corporate citizenship. That's been the justification. There are eight states right now who have done that.
Arizona, in addition, has put in place what they call the “lengthy trial” fund for cases that last longer than five days. Jurors are reimbursed their regular wages up to $300 a day, which is enough to cover everyone except the highest-income jurors. They are compensated out of a fund that comes from civil filing fees. I think it's a $15 charge for filing a civil case in Arizona. It goes into this fund, which has basically been self-sustaining. It allows jurors to be able to serve on much longer trials, including trials of a month long or several months long.
