This is a guess, but I would be willing to bet the lower end of legal talent over there practices at a higher level than over here, and you probably have several fewer lawyers per population than we do.

Likewise, I'm sure the cream-of-the-crop is a bit more affordable as well.

The lawyers here play games for a living, games no one else is allowed to play.

Games like, Let's See What the Law Says Today.

It is not inherently fixed, but, with money, it can be.

A right Mafia, they are.
