In the constitution you have the 5th amendment due process clause. This is basically your right to good customer service from the government when you are the one charged with a crime. The administration of due process is very expensive, and any good corporate manager driven by OKRs focused on revenue would do away with the process all together in favor of plaintiffs, unless the defendant was a significant taxpayer or something like that.

This does not apply to private corporations. However, now we have these trial like processes going on inside of Google and they are driven by OKRs and quarterly profits, so its 100% plaintiff friendly, because Google knows the defendants are largely powerless and not revenue generators.
