A society of laws needs attorneys.

Our legal system has wandered far from the path.

Here are my proposals to fix the civil side of the law:

1. In civil litigation, the loser is responsible for all legal fees.

2. In civil litigation, the attorney may base the fee on awards for actual damages only.

3. Persons in commission of a crime, and their relatives, dependents, etc. may not recover any civil damages.

Easily understood, easily enforced. I'd be interested in hearing why these aren't a good idea.
