Thank God our ancestors left that place and came here to found this great nation! We must NOT become like Europe, where a disgruntled troublemaker can sue in such a frivolous manner. We are already too far down the same path. We must reverse course as soon as we can.

“We must NOT become like Europe, where a disgruntled troublemaker can sue in such a frivolous manner.”

- In 2003, the number of lawyers in the US surpassed 1 million.

The lawyers of the 27 EU countries and 10 other European nations are represented by an organization called The Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE). Russia does not participate in this cooperation, but still the total population of the countries this organization draws its members from is well over 600 million, more than twice the population of the US.

According to CCBE, there are around 700 000 lawyers, all in all, in these 37 European countries.

If Europe truly is a place where anyone can sue anyone else in a ‘frivolous manner’, how come the US needs more lawyers than we Europeans do?

Are our lawyers more productive?

Unfortunately, we have travelled far down that same path. Look at the teams that have changed their names from (insert un PC name here)to something innocuous, like Stanford did.
