The problem is the legislature has a really nasty habit of passing bad public policy. I frankly wouldn't trust them to come up with a good civil system. I'm not comfortable with our system relying on what judges had for breakfast, but I'm less comfortable with a system relying on what legislators do to appease populism over sound policy.
I suppose the best way to find out whether you're right, might be to look and see if Louisiana is doing better off with their legal system than some of the other states?
- lionhearted 17y agoAgree with you that the legislature is in bad shape too. As for Louisiana, there's probably better examples. I'm thinking something similar to the transition to the Napoleanic Codes in Europe as a realistic best case scenario: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleonic_code http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleonic_code
