I think I prefer legislation requiring judges to sanction the lawyers (and prohibit
indemnification by the client) for bringing and/or trying a frivolous case before the
court... assuming they lose.

We already have such rules.

However, frivolous is a pretty hard thing to establish. Almost every case has some potential merit, or else no contingent fee lawyer would even waste time drafting the complaint. I have tried several times to get suits tossed out as frivolous, and never succeeded. (I won every one of those, btw, but had to try them since we weren't about to settle a case we felt had no merit.)
