The Adversarial Process (Trial by battle, are lawyers zealous champions or hired guns?)
QUERY: Is the adversary process the best way to settle disputes? Is it the best way to find the truth? To arrive at justice?
A fundamental premise of our legal system is that justice is best achieved by resolving disputes on an even playing-field, that just results are more dependent on fair procedure than substantive rights and duties. A corollary to this premise is the notion that fairness is made more likely by having the disputants represented by competent legal specialists before an impartial tribunal.
