I reject your assertion that the legal process is sucking up too large a percentage of the disputed assets in question. In general legal fees and court costs are a relatively small percentage of the disputed value.
- AnthonyMouse 11y agoNobody is complaining about those cases. The vast majority of disputes never even make it inside a courtroom because many laws are clear and simple. If you have a good law then nobody ever talks about it, or needs to. What people want to change are the areas where the law is a mess. Divorce, patent litigation, etc. Laws that criminalize innocuous behavior and allow prosecutors to overcharge defendants at whim. And a common characteristic with these messes is that spending a lot of money on lawyers will significantly improve outcomes, so that people who can, have to -- or they get screwed. Which is what happens to the people who can't.
