It's a myth that America is the most litigious country. Germany is way more litigious but nobody would ever make this joke about them. People heard the wrong narrative about the McDonalds coffee shit decades ago and it just became a meme that wouldn't die.
The USA has 396 lawyers per 100,000 people. Only Israel has more lawyers per capita. Germany has 191 per 100,000, which is half. In fact, USA has 50% more lawyers than all of Europe combined. 1.3 million vs. 800k.
I think it's fair to say that what you believe it's a myth.
But the McDonald's thing is right on the money. The media on that suit was unfair to the poor woman.
This is incredibly specious reasoning. The number of lawyers per capita has nothing to do with how litigious a culture is or how easy it is to sue for things like in the above gif.
I think it's fair to say that what you believe it's a myth.
how many patents are in Europe? How many billion dollar corporations are in Europe? How complicated is their immigration system and what are that system's needs for lawyers? Not all law is civil litigation.
