axel77 and Harry - Although it is not universally present in the United States, many court cases here do have a "loser pays" system for attorney's fees. Most contract cases, many lawsuits under federal laws, and normal suits in Alaska provide that all, or most, of the winner's fees must be paid by the loser. This has not diminished the volume of litigation in the least. I think there are other factors at work, for example the loose standards for product liability.
