Damn you almost make believe lawyers can not suck…

This was a part of Lord Beveridge's plan for legal aid just after WWII in the UK, but it ultimately failed because the legal profession was very much opposed, and because the largest single target of lawsuits is the state itself, and requiring people seeking redress from the state to use state employees is a recipe for injustice.

While lawyers should definitely be reformed, I’m not sure if this would be any different than what we have now. Governments can selectively assign high skilled or interest conflicted lawyers to certain cases (or the opposite for a losing outcome on purpose).

The parish system in Catholicism might be an interesting place to look at. Unless you have a specific skill (such as language, cultural), you’re basically reassigned to random churches every few years. And even if you do have those specific skills, you’ll be reassigned to random churches within those communities. This lottery system would also mean, in theory, that providing high quality and accessible legal education to aspiring lawyers would be in the interest of everyone because some millionaire’s lawyer will have a similar education to yours.

While this would be an improvement for sure, rich people still have excess time and knowledge the poor don't which would allow them to pursue legal action.

The obvious solution is to waive all legal rights for anyone with a net worth >=$5M.
