No I am afraid that pastime was outlawed a few years ago just so you and your lot could "come out" to play or do you still prefer the closet.
Me, I've been happily married for forty years, 2 daughters, 1 in the Sydney Crime Squad, 1 in Dublin working for the IRA media, 3 sons 2 in the military WO1s 1 a forensic analyst with the ACC.

OTB, We talked about civil courts but then we also have the criminal justice system and it is certainly complex and costly to operate. We have the local courts to deal with petty matters, parking fines and such like. Then there is major crime and how best society deals with that. By its very nature these matters are often extremely complicated, how much of that is necessary and how much is the system I don't know, but I suspect the legal profession has a big hand in keep things the way they are, Our lawyers, judges etc do very well and have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.
There is a saying which goes something like this "A person who defends ones self has a fool for a lawyer." Under our system that would be true.
