If the length of contract is what is protecting you, you're already in court. If it's a jury trial, all bets are off no matter what the law or contract says.

Not at all! A strong, detailed, clearly written contract reduces the amount of "wiggle room" for litigation.

The other party is much more likely *not* to sue you in the first place if they know they would be fighting an uphill battle against a strong contract.

That's why GPLv3 has anti-patent-troll clauses for example.
