> Small companies and individuals cannot pursue expensive lawsuits. The fact that lawsuits are won by whoever has more money and time is so deeply problematic. I have no idea how you’d go about equalizing it. Spending limits with devastating consequences if it can be proven that you broke them? | ||

Two more ideas * 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. | ||

Loser pays legal fees would be one small step in roughly the right direction (though it has its own set of problems too). | ||

Simple, just make it public. You don't bring a lawyer, a lawyer is appointed. This way everyone is on equal footing. Doesn't matter if you're a homeless bum or Jeff Bezos. Both just get an appointed lawyer. If a suit is found frivolous, you are on the hook for the costs, as long as it's reasonable it's paid for by the state and if a party is found at fault they may also be required to cover the costs. | ||
