They also don't see the justice system through the eyes of a non-lawyer. If they did, we would likely see a lot of reforms that tried to simplify the courts and reduce the price of justice for ordinary citizens. As it is, that price is basically beyond the reach of most of us, unless the potential settlement is large enough that a lawyer will take it on speculatively. We've turned the Common Law from something that citizens can use to get justice for wrongs against them into something that is only accessible by corporations, or by people so wealthy that their financial and business lives operate as corporations do.

Justice has always been for sale. What's happened is that the price has increased to the point where most of us can't afford it.
