[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8878413, member: 18"] I mean, nationalism is fun, but let's be real, whilst IANAL and I'm certainly not an "expert" in any meaningful sense of the word, I do know more about the US legal system (or patchwork of systems) than, say 98% of Americans (probably a little higher than that). Particularly as concerns civil law. Any actual lawyer (such as yourself?) or even probably a paralegal is going to laugh me out of the building, but your typical American-on-the-internet? Come on. I've certainly read plenty of US judgements, if nothing else, from my years as a researcher. It's not like I'm some superior European from a civil law background! (in the "not common law" sense) (And yes I'm aware Louisiana has a civil-law like legal system, which I will cheerfully admit to being the extent of my knowledge of Louisiana's legal system!) Also, the Yanks have been telling us "how to cook our fish and chips" for like, 20 years now, in a legal sense! So you absolutely do! The City is absolutely full of American invaders, coming over here, overpaying trainees and giving them unreasonable expectations! Several US law firms have merged with UK ones (indeed a couple of the world's biggest law firms have come out of that), and indeed any City law firm which hasn't, I guarantee you a US law tries to merge with them every few years. The Magic Circle is a bit tragic I admit, but that's what we've got. [/QUOTE]
