  As far as I know, that's an Americanism. I don't know of any other country that concentrates so many legal professionals in their political system.

    Most other countries also don't have nearly as many lawyers per capita as the US.

    It may be a Western-ism for sure but I (a Brit) was thinking mostly about the UK when I wrote it.
