“As the costs and delays of civil litigation increase, the ideal of equal justice is unfulfilled. All too often …the party with the greater financial resources … prevails by exhausting the resources for the weaker opponent. The mere threat of delay or unbearable expense denies justice to many actual or prospective litigants. Persons or businesses of comparatively limited means settle … and relinquish claims simply because they cannot afford to litigate…” Justice Powell as quoted in Joseph R. Biden, Jr’s, Equal, Accessible, Affordable Justice Under Law
