I think AI will be one of the great equalizers in this respect.
It was very common at the time of the founding of the USA for the law to be understandable enough for a 'common' person with a couple of years of study and apprenticeship to understand the relevant jurisdictions and case law and resolve their own cases.
Now, much of law and academia relies of experts that are inaccessible to most but the wealthy.
Should we find the "common person" enabled to assert their rights, you'll find a lot of corporate misbehavior gone.
Right now, it's just easier for corporations to misbehave and stand behind an army of corporate lawyers to cover them.
