One idea: If a lawyer brings n invalid lawsuits within m months (where n, m are magic numbers, n preferably under three, m preferably over twelve), the lawyer gets disbarred. The only problem is: who decides whether a lawsuit is valid? Is there an objective way to judge this?

That would cause lawyers to avoid cases like the plague unless they’re airtight. In truth, if the opposition is big enough, they’d probably avoid it in case they end up disbarred.

I could see a strategy here being to make the case seem invalid (by some definition) as the defence, essentially playing the man and not the ball.
