The courtroom may be the morally superior option, not unlike the right to counsel and so forth. However, they have a cost - a price. We are used to having the wherewithal to pay that price. I am not at all sure that will continue into the future.

I, too, often wonder about the future - but don't think we want to return to a world in which canonical law - other than philosophically - would trump our secularly codified legal system.
