"Gads. That's (76,000 lawyers in Florida) a lot of people that produce pretty much nothing of value. "

The US has more lawyers than the rest of the world combined. ..........And Democrats love it.

This is one of those urban myths that just keeps circulating.

actually some countries (like Japan) have no juries.

Others substitute Notaries for lawyer work. Their notaries are far more significantly trained and important than the USA versions.

Additionally in some countries civil courts do not really exist. It is more a self help issue since there is no real money in their disputes.

As far as florida is concerned,remember many of those lawyers are actually seniors who do not actually practice.
