I'm not sure if you've looked around lately, but justice is already a commodity to be bought and sold, and if you currently can't afford whatever price justice costs, you are dependent upon charity. And since that "charity" is usually provided by the very government which is exacting the price, you are usually SOL under government.

I realize that the "rich" can afford "better" attorneys and are more likely to get off, but at least under the current system there is a garuantee of "your day in court".

Another question: what type of punishment would be dealt out to those who commit serious crimes such as rape and murder? The punishments couldn't just be monetary. Surely these people can't be allowed to run free. So are there going to be private jails? What authority would PrisonMart have to lock me up? In the case where monetary damage is the judgement of JusticeMart, what's to stop me from refusing to pay?
