They tried that under Chairman Mao's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. Did not end well.

They also sawed off the heads of village headmen and those of their wives and children while the peasants cheered.

And the lawyers were fine with it. The supreme court of the People's Republic of China condoned it.

Sorry, Mandy. That is how every single country operates. Lawyers are ALWAYS the willing instrument of the people in power. It does not matter if it is a fascist or communist regime or anything in between.

The inequality is not built into the legal system. It is inherent in capitalism. rich people have access and the ability to buy better goods and services. That is just a fact. Access to the system is generally equal and works reasonably well.

If something happens, he will try to milk money out of it.
