What happens if we *don’t* reform our legal system
The Economist has had a bunch of articles recently about legal reform and how necessary, but unlikely, it is.
One of the things I love most about science fiction is it’s ability to take an idea like “legal reform” and extrapolate it into a meaningful, personal story to illustrate the need for changes. How would you explain to your ten year old daughter why someone is suing her for the things her ancestors did? Or why she can’t sing along out loud without permission? How would you like it if your baby was sued before he or she was born? If the lawyers get their way, that’s our future.
