> 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.
