That is a huge misconception. You are right that people think it is for the common man, but the judicial system is not for them. The judicial system is for the Queen, elite, powerful 1%. The feudal principles that govern the majority of countries around the world, no matter their political affiliations, are designed to have the people surrender their spiritual jurisdiction in favor of being judged by a fictional construct. They hope that those constructs will dispense 'justice' fairly, but it rarely does. That is because the courts are actually there to manage the book keeping and ensure the safety and protection of the elite upon which the citizens have surrendered their sovereignty over to.
