America is a very litigious society.
This is born out by looking at the numbers. According to the American Bar Association, there are more than 1.3 million lawyers in the United States, while the Association of American Medical Colleges states approximately 940,000 total active physicians.
While that number may not be shocking, you may be surprised to hear that 27% of all the nation’s lawyers live in just two states, New York and California. That should not be too surprising; after all, California and New York are two of the most populous states in the union.
However, I think there’s something much more serious under those numbers.
I cannot tell you how often someone contacts me and assumes the only redress they have for their grievance, the only opportunity they have to get justice, is to file a court case, especially a federal one. People act like judges will either give them the justice they need or are so corrupt they don’t have a chance. And because everything seems to turn into a court case, there is a great demand for attorneys.
So today, I want to look at some recent court cases and see how we are getting justice from the judicial branch. Then I want to look at some pending lawsuits to see if justice can be served.
