    I feel like a lot of problems in the US could just be solved by improving the courts. Eliminate the wait times, offer streamlined hearings, and evictions for fault, like nonpayment, could be a lot simpler.

      Personally, I’d like to see some solutions that didn’t encourage Americans to be even more litigious than they already are. Not that courts can or should be eliminated, but having hyper efficient mega courts sounds terrifying.

        I think it makes sense to do what it takes to make sure that trials can start quickly, and you aren’t waiting months or years for your trial to begin.

          I don’t know much about the legal system, but I have to assume a lot of that is because the courts are busy and there are only so many judges. That isn’t a job where I want them to lower the bar to allow more people in who wouldn’t normally be considered.

            Courts are only so big. So many clerks running things. I’m sure there’s more qualified candidates for judges than there are funding for those judges.
