I think there should be increased Jury Duty fees for long trials over 4 weeks. In California unfortunately its $15, I would raise it to $25 and if its a prolonged trial it would be $40 a day.

If a trial has disturbing evidence, there should be an option of 1 therapist session for free to talk over the issue without discussing the issues of the trial.

Why not minimum wage?

It should really be the wages one is unable to earn due to being on jury duty.

That would be nice, but I am trying to do something that would not bust budgets. Most states would not
pay anything higher than $50 a day. My proposal is $25 a day after the 1st day, and $40 a day after the
second week or during deliberations whatever comes first.
