Our legal system is beyond broken. IMO the only way to fix it is to have the average citizens run it. When a person is arrested and requests a trial then a judge should be elected from a pool of people just like a jury is. I'd prefer an average citizen preside over the case but if the pool needs to be a pool of lawyers that have to serve on a trial as an acting judge, that would be ok too but there is definitely room for corruption there as most lawyers know each other.

Every person accused of a crime should be able to defend themselves without spending 100k on shitty lawyers whose only mission is billable hours.
Every citizen should request a jury trial for every offense. Even a parking ticket. If we did that then 80% of the laws on the books would be removed. Most are just money generation schemes for the state anyway.
