  Broadly disagree but agree about a specific element.

  I think there’s plenty of justice between two people of give or take equal wealth.

  Money, unfortunately, does help one prepare a defense or attack better than those without money. So in that sense, justice is very unevenly served between parties of unequal wealth.

    Its also power in and of itself. Two rich people in dispute, one with connections to political power, will have the advantage over the other.

    I agree that, in practical terms, the ability to absorb costs is ultimately what wins out in legal disputes.
