Actually, you can fix the litigation problem in the U.S. (and to a lesser
extent, in other countries) with a couple of very minor changes:
1. The loser normally pays the winner's legal costs (we already do this in
Canada); and
2. punitive damages go to the taxpayers, not to the plaintiff.
I would argue that the winner's legal costs be paid from a pool created from
the punitive damages.
