There is already such a system. You can sue for legal fees and you will get them if you proove the case was "frivolous".
However, I think we should use the system they use in Europe where the loser pays the winner's legal fees regardless of whether the case is frivolous.
However, I doubt that will ever happen as the current system favors those with money as they can tie up the small guy in court and force him to settle since he can't afford the expense of a long trial. I've had this happen to my company before, and it sucks.
