You say you understand that "legal systems are not always  
reasonable". But you do not connect the dots. We can take steps to  
reduce the chance we will be the victim of judicial unreasonableness.  
As to the clique of privilege, there is a small stratum in society  
which has the money, power and prestige to use the legal system (or  
effectively publicize their distress). We do not court them, they are  
simply more confident that a complaint will be responded too, so are  
more likely to complain. A complaint from anyone would hopefully  
receive equal consideration.
