Arbel contends Croley's proposed reforms, like increasing case volume, would overwhelm the system, especially concerning the neglected crisis in debt collection. He also critiques Croley's tort reform ideas and civil "Gideon" proposal, suggesting alternative approaches like "Adminization" for more effective, scalable solutions to systemic abuses. 2. ## Section Summaries ≤120 words each **Section 1: Introduction to Croley's "Civil Justice Reconsidered"** Professor Yonathan Arbel of the University of Alabama School of Law writes that Professor Croley's book, *Civil Justice Reconsidered*, compellingly argues the civil justice system is in crisis due to excessive costs, slowness, and inaccessibility, undermining its core functions. This collection of essays by leading scholars examines facets like the "vanishing trial" and pro se litigation challenges, proposing complex solutions. Arbel notes Croley's accessible book, likened to a robust camel adapted to its environment, leverages his synoptic view and practical expertise to offer a clear, comprehensive exposition for policymakers and citizens, despite civil litigation not appearing intelligently designed. **Section 2: Croley's Core Arguments and Arbel's Initial Caveats** Professor Yonathan Arbel of the University of Alabama School of Law writes that Croley first dispels the perception of a U.S. civil litigation system corrupted by rapacious plaintiffs, finding little empirical evidence of pro-plaintiff bias and deeming abuse claims overstated. Croley's second proposition is that the system's true problem is under-participation by meritorious plaintiffs deterred by costs and complexity, proposing streamlined procedures for 'more cases, less litigation'. While Arbel sees Croley's book as a trusted guide for practical reforms, he notes a caveat: its dual goals—arguing over-litigation isn't severe while under-litigation is—are not always consonant, with the under-participation point lacking direct empirical proof. **Section 3: Critiquing Croley on Under-Participation, Win Rates, and Debt Collection** Professor Yonathan Arbel of the University of Alabama School of Law writes that while Croley argues expensive litigation suggests under-participation, he fails to rigorously prove a shortfall of socially important cases. Croley's use of plaintiff win rates to imply a neutral system is problematic, as reforms to include more meritorious plaintiffs would then suggest bias by that same metric. Arbel notes win rates can be misleading, citing the Israeli criminal justice system. He criticizes the insufficient attention paid to debt collection lawsuits, the most voluminous civil cases, where alarming evidence shows a "broken system" of default judgments on scant evidence, which Croley's marginalist approach would likely overwhelm. **Section 4: Arbel's Alternative Proposals and Further Critiques of Croley** Professor Yonathan Arbel of the University of Alabama School of Law writes about his "Adminization" proposal, where a governmental agency audits court cases and levies fines, creating cost-effective, scalable consumer protection. He observes that tort reform has shapeshifted, with strategies like apology laws acting as covert reform. While Croley's tort reform proposals are sensible, Arbel argues they don't address new frontiers like tortfeasors using strategic apologies. Finally, he suggests Croley's recommendation for a civil "Gideon" right, mandating subsidized lawyering for indigent plaintiffs, may prove counter-productive.` const SummaryZHMD = `好的,以下是基于您提供的英文文本翻译的正式中文摘要: 1. ## 核心摘要(≤100词) 阿拉巴马大学法学院的约纳坦·阿尔贝尔(Yonathan Arbel)教授认为,尽管克罗利(Croley)教授的《民事司法反思》一书恰当地描述了民事司法在成本和可及性方面的危机,但其关于有充分理由的原告参与不足的诊断缺乏实证支持,且其对胜诉率的依赖具有误导性。阿尔贝尔教授主张,克罗利教授提出的改革措施(如增加案件数量)将使整个体系不堪重负,尤其是在被忽视的债务催收危机方面。他还对克罗利教授的侵权法改革观点和民事“吉迪恩案”(Gideon)原则的提议进行了评析,并提出了如“行政化管理”(Adminization)等替代方案,以期为系统性滥用问题提供更有效、可扩展的解决方案。 2. ## 各章节摘要(每节≤120词) **第一节:克罗利教授《民事司法反思》简介** 阿拉巴马大学法学院的约纳坦·阿尔贝尔教授写道,克罗利教授的《民事司法反思》一书令人信服地论证了民事司法系统因成本过高、效率低下和可及性不足而陷入危机,损害了其核心功能。这本由顶尖学者撰写的论文集探讨了诸如“审判消失现象”和当事人自行诉讼(pro se litigation)的挑战等方面,并提出了复杂的解决方案。阿尔贝尔教授指出,克罗利教授的著作通俗易懂,被喻为能适应环境的强壮骆驼,凭借其宏观视角和实践专长,为政策制定者和公民提供了清晰全面的阐述——尽管民事诉讼制度本身并非看似经过深思熟虑的设计。 **第二节:克罗利教授的核心论点与阿尔贝尔教授的初步保留意见** 阿拉巴马大学法学院的约纳坦·阿尔贝尔教授写道,克罗利教授首先驳斥了美国民事诉讼系统被贪婪原告腐蚀的观点,认为几乎没有实证证据表明存在有利于原告的偏见,并认为滥用诉讼的说法言过其实。克罗利教授的第二个主张是,该系统的真正问题在于有充分理由的原告因成本和复杂性望而却步,导致参与不足。他提议通过简化程序实现“更多案件,更少诉讼”。尽管阿尔贝尔教授视克罗利教授的著作为实用改革的可靠指南,但他指出一个保留意见:其双重目标——即论证过度诉讼问题并不严重,而诉讼不足问题却很突出——并非总是协调一致,且其关于参与不足的观点缺乏直接的实证支持。 **第三节:阿尔贝尔教授对克罗利教授关于参与不足、胜诉率和债务催收论点的评析** 阿拉巴马大学法学院的约纳坦·阿尔贝尔教授写道,尽管克罗利教授认为昂贵的诉讼费用意味着参与不足,但他未能严谨地证明具有社会重要性的案件数量确实短缺。克罗利教授使用原告胜诉率来暗示系统是中立的,这种做法存在问题,因为旨在吸纳更多有充分理由的原告的改革,若依据同一标准(胜诉率)来衡量,反而会暗示系统存在偏见。阿尔贝尔教授指出胜诉率可能具有误导性,并以以色列刑事司法系统为例。他批评克罗利教授对债务催收诉讼——数量最为庞大的民事案件类型——关注不足。在这些案件中,令人担忧的证据表明存在一个“失灵的系统”,即仅凭少量证据便作出缺席判决。克罗利教授的边际主义方法很可能会让该系统不堪重负。 **第四节:阿尔贝尔教授的替代方案及对克罗利教授的进一步评析** 阿拉巴马大学法学院的约纳坦·阿尔贝尔教授阐述了他的“行政化管理”(Adminization)提议,即由政府机构审计法院案件并处以罚款,从而建立具有成本效益且可扩展的消费者保护机制。他观察到侵权法改革已经“改头换面”,诸如道歉法之类的策略实际上起到了隐蔽改革的作用。尽管克罗利教授的侵权法改革提议是明智的,但阿尔贝尔教授认为它们未能解决诸如侵权行为人利用策略性道歉等新兴问题。最后,他指出克罗利教授建议的民事“吉迪恩案”权利,即强制为贫困原告提供补贴性律师服务,可能会适得其反。` const OnePagerMD = "# Book Review: Civil Justice — one-page summary\n\n**Paper ID:** `ssrn-3272595`\n**Year:** 2018\n**Author(s):** Yonathan Arbel\n**SSRN:** https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3272595\n\n## TL;DR\n\nProfessor Yonathan Arbel of the University of Alabama School of Law argues that while Professor Croley's *Civil Justice Reconsidered* aptly describes the civil justice crisis of cost and inaccessibility, its diagnosis of under-participation by meritorious plaintiffs is not empirically proven and its reliance on win rates is misleading.

Croley, (New York: NYU Press, 2017), 304 pp., hardback, US $55, ISBN: 9781479855001. Yonathan A. Arbel, Assistant Professor of Law, University of Alabama School of Law A camel, they say, is a horse designed by a committee. By that token, civil litigation is justice designed by the common law. But even though the appearance of both the camel and the system of civil litigation does not betray the existence of any design, much less an intelligent one, careful investigation reveals how both camels and common law courts are awe-inspiringly robust evolutionary adaptations to the complex environments where they evolved. This insight—regarding law, not camels—is but one of the many payoffs of reconsidering civil justice. In this accessible book, Professor Croley brings to bear his synoptic view of the civil justice literature and his expertise as a practicing attorney. This book addresses a much broader audience than its title might imply, going beyond the cadre of civil procedure and private law aficionados and hoping to inspire and instruct policymakers, involved citizens, and scholars at large. To that end, Croley’s exposition is clear and comprehensive, devoid of jargon, and assumes little background knowledge. Electronic copy available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3272595 <> 510 Civil Justice Quarterly [Vol. 37] The book advances two arguments that partition it into two fairly distinct halves. The first half seeks to dispel the widespread perception that the American system of civil litigation is corrupted by rapacious plaintiffs who leverage the sympathy of gullible juries to extract payments they do not deserve. Croley’s careful evaluation of the evidence suggests that the camel is much stronger than that. Upon closer examination of the empirical literature on trial outcomes, he finds little evidence of pro-plaintiff bias, and he notes that across many domains of civil justice, defendants are almost just as likely to prevail as plaintiffs. Croley is also skeptical of the allegation of excessive money judgments: Once one accounts for the severity of the injury involved, the money damages seem to be fairly proportional. While Croley freely admits that there are many who misuse the legal system, he finds that the idea of widespread abuse is largely overstated. The balance of evidence, Croley concludes, does not support those reformers who seek to limit the access of plaintiffs to the courts. Rejecting the case for limiting plaintiff’s access does not mean that the system is optimal. Far from it. Rather than over-participation by unmeritorious plaintiffs, Croley’s second proposition is that the real problem is under-participation by meritorious plaintiffs. He argues that many are deterred by the cost, length, and complexity of the process and so fail to file claims even when they have a real cause of action. To overcome that, Croley proposes an interesting paradigm which can be dubbed more cases, less litigation. If the legal procedure were less complicated, less tolerant of those who file vexatious and frivolous motions, and more streamlined, a larger number of meritorious plaintiffs would be able to access justice at a lower cost.

From the more cases, less litigation viewpoint follow localized and practical reforms of three types: sanctioning attempts to over- litigate cases; providing venues with truncated procedures for resolving small and medium-sized claims; and, expanding legal aid subsidies. In all of that, Croley rejects radical alternatives and favors changes on the margin. Such changes are argued to be better in part because they stand a chance of actual implementation, but also because they are more amenable to empirical evaluation. This resonates well with another theme in this book, the belief that civil procedure should be experimented at the local level, channeling the idea of states as laboratories of democracies that can breed camels more adaptive to the 21st century. Croley’s approach in this book is careful and fair; he takes counter-evidence seriously and acknowledges the limits of supporting evidence. This even-handed analysis of the evidence marks the book’s primary contribution: A trusted guide for the perplexed reader who seeks to learn more about the realities of civil litigation in America in a highly politicized area. His reform proposals are equally careful and measured and provide a useful roadmap for a host of non-boat-rocking reforms that still carry the promise of bolstering civil justice in America and potentially also elsewhere. Besides its many strengths, there are some caveats. The book’s dual goals—to show that over-litigation is not a severe problem but under-litigation is—are not always consonant with each other. While the evidence for the existence of a pro-plaintiff bias is carefully dissected, citing dozens of studies, the point that meritorious plaintiffs under-participate is not directly proven empirically. Instead, Croley Electronic copy available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3272595 <> 512 Civil Justice Quarterly [Vol. 37] explains that litigation is expensive and litigation finance is limited, and on this basis “one would expect some legal harms to go un- remedied” (p.124). Similarly, he notes that legal aid is limited and that there are several roadblocks that prevent access to civil justice. Still, he never fully proves the existence of a real, widespread shortfall of cases of social importance. Admittedly, a problem of under- participation likely exists, but the rigor applied to reject the over- participation thesis is markedly different from what is used to establish the under-participation hypothesis. This tension runs even deeper. Croley’s dismissal of the pro-plaintiff bias is built, in part, on the observation that in a broad range of civil categories, plaintiffs lose almost as often as they win. This evidence, he admits, is not conclusive, but he considers it highly “suggestive” of a neutral, unbiased system. But if, as Croley argues in the second half of the book, many meritorious plaintiffs are chilled from participating, then that means the current pool of plaintiffs has too few meritorious plaintiffs. This presents the following dilemma. If current win rates suggest a neutral system, there is no need to reform. And if reform were to take place, it would lead to plaintiffs winning more than 50% of the cases (as even more meritorious cases would join the pool of cases), which—by this metric—would indicate bias. Importantly, it is disputed whether win-rates are indicative of anything. As shown by Priest and Klein1 and Shavell,2 among others, the distribution of win rates can wear many shapes that are largely independent of the whether the legal standard favors one party or the other. Recently, Klerman and Lee have questioned this prevailing 1 G.L. Priest and B. Klein, “The Selection of Disputes for Litigation”, (1984) 13 Journal of Legal Studies 1. 2 S.

Electronic copy available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3272595 <> 2018] Review: Civil Justice Reconsidered 513 wisdom,3 but the debate is still ongoing.4 A lively illustration of the difficuility of drawing inferences from win rates comes from the Israeli criminal justice system, where over 99% of criminal charges result in guilty verdicts.5 This fact seems to suggest an almost overwhelming anti-defendant bias, but a closer look at the data reveals a very different picture. The police and attorney general are either very risk- averse or highly lenient, and they winnow out the vast majority of cases, so that the ones that proceed to trial are uncharacteristically strong.66 As a result, the prosecution almost always wins, but despite that, it is hard to speak of a pro-plaintiff bias. Another issue, and one that is common to the broader civil justice scholarship, is the faint attention that is paid to the largest source of civil cases: debt collection lawsuits. Every year, about 8 million cases are filed in as suits by creditors and debt buyers against consumers for allegedly unpaid debts. These cases amount to over 50% of all civil cases, leading far ahead of any other category of cases. Indeed, the average American is far more likely to encounter such a 3 D. Klerman and Y.A.

In this context there is alarming evidence of a systematic failure of the civil litigation system in a way that favors plaintiffs. In many of these cases, service is shoddy, evidence is scant, the consumer appears pro se—if she is participating at all—and the plaintiff’s representative has all but the most rudimentary familiarity with the case. As one judge put it, these cases tend to “lack a nano of a modicum of a scintilla of a prima facie case”.7 Yet, plaintiffs routinely win a default judgment in their favor, with very little judicial oversight or screening.8 This is not to say that debt lawsuits are by their nature frivolous, but the lack of any judicial oversight is a recipe for disaster, leading the regulator itself to exasperatedly decry debt litigation as a “broken system.”9 In light of these severe issues with the handling of debt collection lawsuits, Croley’s marginalist approach may be palliative at best. Civil litigation is not designed to process cases where participation is systematically lacking, and it certainly uncapable to do so at the scale necessary to manage 8 million additional lawsuits every year. Indeed, if Croley’s proposals will have their desired effect, the result will be a deluge of routine, small cases that the system— already rebuked for being lethargic and overburdened—will have to resolve. There is simply not enough capacity for that. Fortunately, there are viable alternatives, ranging from qui tam type lawsuits to 7 Am Express Bank, FSB v Dalbis, No.300082/10, 2011 WL 873512, at 12 (NY Civ Ct 14 March 2011) (internal quotation marks omitted). 8 Y.

Electronic copy available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3272595 <> 2018] Review: Civil Justice Reconsidered 515 ideas like the class defense mechanism.10 A recent proposal in this area is the so-called Adminization of certain legal processes, whereby a governmental agency (such as the Federal Trade Commission) randomly samples cases that were filed in state courts and audits them, levying fines where wrongdoing is detected.11 This approach adds a cost-effective layer of consumer protection, that works well independent of consumers’ participation gap. Even the cases that are not audited would benefit from Adminization, because plaintiffs would be overall more hesitant to engage in abuse if there is a risk of audit and fines. But what is most important is that these solutions scale well and are thus much more effective than standard solutions that try to cram millions of additional cases into the already clogged arteries of the civil justice system. Croley’s most secure footing is in the tort context and his analysis is best read as a careful analysis of the state of the art in the tort-reform debate. Indeed, most of the examples and data in the book are drawn from this domain. Still, it is worth remembering that a significant portion of tort reform has shapeshifted in recent years. Tort reformers today are not only lobbying for explicit anti-plaintiff measures (such as damages caps) but instead, they pursue alternative strategies that avoid the branding of tort reform and thus sometimes garner the unwitting support of traditional opponents. In the last decade, a systemic effort to lobby for apology laws—laws that make apologies inadmissible at trial—led to legislative changes in most US states, Republican and Democratic alike. In reality, it was recently argued, these apology laws are covert tort reform, as they allow 10 A. Hamdani and A. Klement, “The Class Defense” (2005) 93 California Law Review 685. 11 Arbel, “Adminization: Gatekeeping Consumer Contracts” (2018) 71 Vanderbilt Law Review 121. Electronic copy available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3272595 <> 516 Civil Justice Quarterly [Vol. 37] tortfeasors to escape substantial liability with bespoke, strategic apologies.12 Croley’s proposals are centered on traditional tort reform efforts and so would do relatively little to address these new frontiers. Despite these issues, I should emphasize, Croley’s proposals are sensible and helpful. The only recommendation that may prove counter-productive is his support of a civil “Gideon” right; i.e., the provision of subsidized lawyering to indigent plaintiffs. Croley finds it essential to expand legal aid budgets and subsidies and, in particular, to impose more requirements of pro bono work on lawyers. Putting aside my critique of the cost-effectiveness of poverty alleviation through legal aid,13 it is interesting to reflect on the idea of mandatory pro bono requirements from the perspective of the Effective Altruism movement.14 Practicing lawyers in the US have a notoriously bimodal distribution of wages and salaries, with a mass of lawyers who make almost four times the wages of the other mass.15 If a top-earning lawyer is providing pro bono representation to an indigent plaintiff, 12 Y.
