I found this cynical but factual. Human behavior runs the gamut from the lowest and meanest to the highest ideals. So how do we govern ourselves? The ideas in the US Constitution, while not holy, were an amazing advancement in the history of how humans govern. The law isn't necessarily fair, and I believe it's designed to solve problems even if the solution is unfair. I don't know how we can improve the legal system. I've considered what would happen if every single litigant was required to be represented by a randomly assigned attorney provided by the government. You mentioned frivolous lawsuits and I believe these would inundate the system in the case above, and those with the funds would find a work-around, hiring private advisers. Thought provoking piece!
