Neither simple nor trivial!  Please preserve me from your hard and 
important questions!

Sadly, most US citizens don't have those resources either (in their 
private capacities).  Hence, litigation of this kind tends to rely on the 
case being adopted by an NGO such as EFF or ACLU or the like that does the 
legal work.  This isn't a very good solution, but it does mean that the 
footing is less uneven than you might think.

That said, I think this is a very good problem to worry about.  (The 
economic answer would be for ICANN to offer law bounties -- like some 
software firms offer bug bounties -- that it would pay if it lost a legal 
case.  If they were high enough, private firms would take your case on 
contingency.  While this is economically elegant, it has no traction in 
the real world.)

A more real solution would be for someone to set up an NGO which saw such 
cases as a core part of its mission, or to endow a program at an existing 
NGO.  More realistic, but still difficult to conjure out of the air.

I would however note that if the system of law is 'international' then the 
costs to the litigant are in practice even higher, and the accessibility 
to the average citizen of even rich countries is even less.  Thus your 
question applies strongly in both (all?) scenarios.
