Just another reason we need reform. Rich assholes shouldn’t be able to bury their victims in legal debt.
"Justice" is pay to play.
Always has been or you can take your chances by "trusting the process" 🤡
200% yes.
The reform would be extensive and require some thought. How about a hypothetical element of the reform below:
We ban the use of the legalese so that the law is understandable to all in plain English. So that we don't need an exclusive class of law-priests every time we encounter a legal situation.
To go along with the above court procedures can also be simplified/streamlined.
Basically do away with the legal elitism.
I always found it fascinating how the law is such a unique and cloistered ecosystem.
The sciences and arts encourage self-education and self-discovery. Constructive disruption is admired and moves the fields forward. Those who make it accessible and reachable are celebrated.
I love your phrasing "law-priests". The law is the religion in a secular state. It has all the same trappings:
Someone needs to nail up some theses to the door of the Supreme Court.
Brilliant writing! Thank you! Normally I just upvote and move on, but this is too good, please pardon my little comment here.
