1) Loser Pays. This is the law in the civilized democratic world. Waivers are given to the poor, as is the case with most reform proposals in the US to end the current astonishingly corrupt system.

Yes, they have such a system in Canada, which is why you don't see people using the civil courts to abdicate common sense and personal responsibility up there.

Ya know, you totally mess up my Canada bashing when they do something so eminently sensible.

*sigh* Well, at least I still have the French to beat up on.

Loser pays is also just simple justice. Reform efforts grant waivers for those poor that are not simply employees of law firms.

Simple justice is the last thing you will ever get from the unregulated, evil US lawyer industry.
