We watch as our system of civil justice evolves into an expensive, ludicrous, self-serving business opportunity for the lawyers. We watch as defendants or plaintiffs who have millions of dollars at their disposal literally buy equity and justice. No judgment is ever final. No jury verdict is ever safe. No legal argument is ever totally without flaws.
Any unsuspecting litigant can fall victim to malpractice, fraud and politics in any given court.
Survivors can no longer bury their dead in peace if they were the victims of disaster, accident or other demise where deep pockets are a likely target by the lawyer culture. Just the mention of a toxic liability will bring lawyers swarming like bees with retainer contracts using the hood of a car as a desk to capture the instant business opportunity. This is a lawyer based problem. Finally, when a system of equity and justice, which should be the goal and objective of every court in the land is converted to an arena of merchandising of technicalities, time, legalese, manipulation, deception, fraud and plea bargains, society loses. A murderer or rapist under this scenario may be set free even when identified in a line up.
