Why would you need to do anything with the inexpensive lawyer? Contribute nothing to the fund—maybe even forfeit your half of whatever the other party contributes—and then represent yourself.
I suspect that the only real solution to the Lawyer Problem is to remove the necessity of the profession—ie, either simplify the law, or cognitively enhance the people to the point where any person who can not hold the whole of the law in his/her head can be declared legally incompetent.
If possible, that would certainly be a great solution.
The original (our-world) Lawyer Problem goes beyond what we’ve discussed here: it involves (ex-) lawyers both deliberately making the law and the case law more and more complex, to increase the value of their services.
