A. The Importance of the Litigation System * OBJECTIVES AND SYLLABUS The Preamble to the United States Constitution lists, in part, the fundamental objectives of an ordered society. The list of objectives includes "establishing justice and insuring domestic tranquility--" To achieve those objectives, the drafters established a government, including a judicial system described in Article III of the Constitution. The functions of that system are corollaries of the drafters' objectives: to dispense justice to litigants and to insure domestic tranquility by serving as a public mechanism for peaceful dispute resolution. As Hobbes wrote in the 17th century, when people feel free to resort to private, violent methods of dispute * resolution, "The life of man" is likely to be "poor, nasty, brutish, and short". In essence, an effective litigation system is a sine qua non for a just, orderly society. In our republic, the right of access to the litigation system is considered so valuable that the Supreme Court has elevated the right to constitutional status. ** A.
