* More juries, and maybe something jury like for civil suits.
* Simplify the law and legal proceedings to the point where the extra time preparing won’t lead to better outcomes.

Even simpler idea, Let the jury know the legal expenses of either party

Juries are available for civil suits, but most parties prefer not to have them because jury results have high variability. I'm following a case, currently pending appeal, where the jury found against the defendants for breach of contract, but awarded $0 in damages, so there's no actual relief regarding the breach.
