The legal system here is getting better but it is still a two tier system, with the rich being able to hire very good Lawyers, and poorer being left with basic legal representation.
You know countries where this isn't the case? Not that I'd want to defend the Polish legal system, which I think is deeply flawed in very many ways, but that's one feature I think it shares with most others.
BTW, you are right about the recourse to European courts having already made a difference - for one, people are talking about the horrid practice of preventive "temporary arrest", where people sometimes spend years in jail with no formal charges, in conditions far worse than those already sentenced (no visits, crowded cells, etc.).
