A lot of big problems, like copyright and patent disputes, could be resolved more quickly via an arbitration method (where the possibility of getting an arbiter who actually understands the technology issues at hand is a possibility.)

I seem to remember that some 250 years ago there was a revolution where part of the discontent was about proper access to the justice system. The insurgent party won and they wrote such things as right to jury trial into the constitution.

Time to have another revolution, isn't it?
