Question

Many believe that there are too many lawsuits in the United States. Do you agree or disagree? Why? Discuss who should accept more blame for the problem, lawyers or individuals who go to court. Do you think there is anything that would mitigate the problem, or will there always be a large numbers of lawsuits?

Answer 1

Answer:

Indeed, a large number of lawsuits enter the American courts year after year. This happens for two main factors:

-First, there is absolute trust in the judicial system of the United States. The citizens trust in the absolute transparency and impartiality of the judges, with which they do not hesitate to go to them to resolve their controversies. Furthermore, the relatively short resolution and sentencing time means that this method is not seen as a waste of time.

-Second, there is a clear lack of communication when doing business. In other words, a culture of judicialization of conflicts has been generated, which means that many controversies that can be resolved privately between the parties end up being the subject of a trial, which saturates the judicial system and breaks trust between the parts.

The responsibility in this matter belongs to the entire society: it is necessary to resume the path of dialogue and joint conflict resolution, instead of going to an impartial third party to do so. The mentality must be changed to achieve a culture of communication that favors joint solutions to society's problems.

Unfortunately, this process takes years and years of education and a change in culture, so that in the coming years a significant change in the number of lawsuits filed in this country should not be expected.
