Yes. Scale up the judicial system and cut laws if needed.

Also, there will likely still be some pleas. Some people own up to being guilty and want to move on.

There is an absolute dearth of lawyers to support this. We just need more courts and more judges for the initial surge of a couple of years.

So most property crimes will not longer be prosecuted?

Also how exactly are jury trials superior to e.g. Magistrates Courts in the UK?

Isn’t the American legal system already very bloated and inefficient? So spending even more money on it might not be the best idea?
