The fact that people are able to remediate disputes without resorting to escalation indicates a high level of maturity of the legal system and legal profession. Third party remediation is a result of a failure of both parties to work out a solution amongst themselves. A legal system where both parties know and agree on the law is a success, not a failure.
By analogy if people manage their own illnesses without engaging health service should be a testament to the level of maturity of health services in USA.
