It's nice to see some common sense find its way into our civil court system here in the U.S. I only wish awarding attorney's fees to the winner were mandatory.


The Ancient Greeks had something similar: http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/socrates/gr... See "The Trial" section

I wish we had something like this in place today.


Nice.
