Yeah Ill rephrase, you should be paid at the equivalent rate for missing however many days worth of work, not to mention money for transport and/or parking since courts are usually in cities and its fucking impossible to park in cities without paying extortionate rates.

I understand the intent here, but it'd be difficult to implement. How do you prove your pay rate unless you bring in a (normal) paystub? How would you prove the hours you worked for said normal paystub? What about small business owners whose absence could cause a whole store to be shut down? How do you compensate them on potentially lost business?

While it should definitely be higher than $15 a day, a better rate would be like a straight $150-300 a day. High enough to not doom somebody from missing a day or two of work, but not high enough to incentivize some to dick around in the jury room for an additional few hundred bucks.
