> Does Europe not have the concept of a court-appointed lawyer? Not sure you understand how court-appointed attorneys work. First off, you can't use one to sue someone else since you can only get a court-appointed attorney when you're being charged in a criminal suit. Second, court-appointed attorneys suck. They are underpaid, overworked, and unable to properly do their jobs as is. Requiring legal action would indeed create a scenario where only the rich bring such cases to trial.
