Set cap on litigation cases?

Someone said that litigation is based on precedence and common law. The lawyer has to research and bring out past cases to argue the legal principle.

I agree.

I have seen simple cases end up with two feet of documents. The lawyer based his fees according to the work done - the more work, the higher the fee.

Maybe, the fee is equivalent to $10 per page of document? So, you can be sure that simple cases will take a long time to argue in court.

If the government were to set a cap on the fees for each tyoe of case, say $5,000 or $10,000, you can be sure that the documents produced will be less volumnous and the cases will be cleared much more quickly.

Maybe, this is the way to go?
