some prole scrambling to find money to 'hire' a lawyer is like something out of an old novel, like a family hiring a witch doctor to lift a curse.

we need to come up with a more rational system.

Perhaps a community-based cooperative system run by lazy, unfireable, completely unaccountable government functionaries.

HVAC technicians with swastikas tattooed on their face should run the entire legal system

What's the alternative? Every westernized country has some form of an adversarial system, right? There's plenty wrong with the American legal system but OP is just nonsensical.

Well isn't a civil law system more "inquisitorial"? I mean that's how most of the world is. This "common law" thing is just, I dunno.

the State should not think of itself as an adversary of the People under any circumstance, pitting a rabid 'prosecution' against helpless individual citizens. that is an insane approach.

the goal in the adversarial system is for the state to 'Win', for its representatives to invest themselves in 'Winning' and in building professional esteem/careers as 'Winners'. this creates MANY perverse incentives/consequences.

the goal should be for the state to seek a rational outcome from the get-go. to be restrained -- not to 'Win.'

no agent of the state should be referred to as a 'prosecutor.' it sets the wrong tone entirely.

no, they actually don't. for some reason, the most "advanced" country on earth has a legal system based on medieval british proles squabbling over deer hunting

case or controversy requirement at least somewhat restricts when judges can flip out and go activist. in countries where consultative rulings are possible the SCOTUS inserts itself into daily politics.
