Abstract

The American legal system and the “Rule of Law” attain a leading place in the world yet generate much criticism. It clearly evolved from common law with specific European legal influences. Its critics state it is too much in favor of the person bringing a lawsuit, often criticizing plaintiff attorneys and deeming the lawsuits frivolous. Angry patients have murdered physicians, making the threat of a lawsuit far less threatening than the threat of bodily injury and harm.
