The issue though is the bias in "is it in the public interest" - for example, the recent exposure that sexual assaults are primarily dismissed, often by taking a patriarchal view (the harm to her that was already done was less than the harm that would be done to him if pursued). 

There is argument that if the numbers of lawyers is expanded (currently limited by law schools) then the cost will go down (resources). This addresses the triage area of the process and supports the arguments for expanding the law school numbers that will result in lower cost for more.
