I wonder, if there was a law that all funds spent on your side in a trial, had to be matched by funds given to the other side to fund his side as well -- would that work?
If the DA's budget per trial is $1 million, then lawyers of the defense must also be given $1 million. If a corporate sues anyone, they have to give them the same budget their lawyers get for their own defense.
Sure, figuring out the budget used is tricky, but even if it is not accurate, it could help balance the situation.
