Perhaps an insurance system would develop where you pay a portion of your winnings to the insurer if the suit wins, and they pay out if it loses. In this way we can leverage market forces to help determine the validity of cases.

Exactly. I only suggested lawyers offering the insurance, but as you and someone else in this thread mentioned, it's also plausible for their to be dedicated agencies. It's not clear to me which would be more efficient.
