An alternative hypothesis is that legal complexity breeds demand for lawyers. But even that is obviously too simple: The highly regulated EU has fewer lawyers than the laissez faire US. One would have to dig into the incentives of tort law, patent law, etc. to find specific drivers of complexity.
- Ekaros 6y agoHigher regulation doesn't necessarily mean more complexity. It might even simplify things as things are already codified in the laws and less time is spend on searching and arguing about precedents and so on... Also whole legal systems affects the complexity. So it's not easy to compare between systems, not to even talk about countries.
