> everything under the sun was actionable

Not everything (in the US at least) is actionable, but you still need someone to review each suit and determine whether or not to throw it out.




seems reasonable to add an initial cost burden to the filer then, to pay for the review, especially if they are filing a lot of suits. Say first 10 suits per year are free, but then you need to get on the premium plan :D


No that just tips the playing field back in favor of the larger players who can afford the fees.


If the goal is to disincentivize all people from making frivolous lawsuits, that cost burden sharing should probably be proportional to the person’s free resources somehow. A percentage of wealth or income or something like that.


You already have to pay fees to file a lawsuit.


AI can do that too.


Not really.

I’d rather have a tractable thought process which can be interrogated decide whether or not I can sue a corporation rather than an automated black box.

The whole point of law is that it’s humans regulating other humans. Not machines (in this case, built by wealthy humans) regulating humans.
