That is a sound and thoughtful suggestion that ought to be part of a wholistic approach to tort reform.

Another would be to take all your colleagues out of their offices and flay them with knotted horsewhips, throw them into boiling salt water and then push them out to sea on flaming rafts.

And then just laugh and laugh. We'll spare those of you not perpetuating or defending this excuse for a civil system.

That reminds me of some lyrics from one of my favorite musicians, Al Stewart:

We've got seven hundred thousand attorneys at law
Nobody can tell me what we need them all for
We should throw them in chains
Chastise them and rebuke them
If it doesn't work
We ought to take 'em out and nuke 'em
Blow a lawyer to pieces
It's the obvious way
Don't wait for a thesis
Do it today
Take him to the court of no final appeal
When you're fresh out of lawyers
You don't know how good it's gonna feel
