My pitch for an improved system is to give defendants the opportunity to file a lawyer-less motion for summary dismissal, which is 1) geared towards being filled out by a layperson and 2) doesn't disqualify you from a subsequent filing for summary dismissal once you get a lawyer. Basically, an initial "this is a stupid lawsuit, here's why" type deal.
And then fine plaintiffs (and pay the defendants) that lose a summary dismissal, because if your case can be thrown out before trial, it was a shit case that should have never been filed in the first place.

- OkayPhysicist 1y agoSure. But they're probably not going to have significantly different content than their normal motion for summary dismissal, so it adds, say, 25% more work for the courts compared to the normal process of motions for summary dismissal, while greatly benefiting individual defendants.
