I'm sympathetic, although I'm lucky in that the only time I've ever been in court was as a witness.
I think that good expert witnesses are probably the only way to solve your dilemma, because you'd be hard pressed to find a "competent" jury in every technical case from computer fraud to flight safety to medical malpractice. We certainly have no monopoly on complications in our profession.
My biggest concern as an outsider to the system, is that it is hard to justify the cost of the whole thing. My partner went through a messy divorce before I met her, the total fees for which would pay for a reasonable second hand Cessna (or something nice to fly). Somebody needs to solve this problem, of the sheer cost of the legal system, as a first step to making it fairer. Until they do, too many court cases will be won by the participant with the biggest wallet, and not the one in the right.
How is beyond me, I'm only an Engineer, not one of these clever lawyer chappies. Anybody got any bright ideas?
My private opinion only, with little evidence to support it.
