Business Law Case Study

1. While I do believe that there are too many lawsuits in the US, I also think that the number of lawsuits can be directly related to the number of rights violations that occur. The affected parties are just exercising their right to ask for justice and the lawyers are doing their jobs.

However, it is also true that the Court system has become a lucrative business to many. Now, courts even serve as entertainment, since there are many TV shows that broadcast live hearings.
