My pitch for an improved system is to give defendants the opportunity to file a lawyer-less motion for summary dismissal, which is 1) geared towards being filled out by a layperson and 2) doesn't disqualify you from a subsequent filing for summary dismissal once you get a lawyer. Basically, an initial "this is a stupid lawsuit, here's why" type deal.

And then fine plaintiffs (and pay the defendants) that lose a summary dismissal, because if your case can be thrown out before trial, it was a shit case that should have never been filed in the first place.
