Waiting in lines and paying by spending time is what you get when you can't pay for a service by spending money. The alternative is that the poor can't afford access to the legal system.

Basically, the wait is serving an important role in making court expensive in an egalitarian way.

But the wealthy don't wait anyway. They just hire lawyers.
