In Australia, law firms are not allowed to try malpractice suits on a contingency basis (where you only pay the law firm if they win). Thus, only the most potentially successful cases are brought to court. Malpractice insurance in that country is roughly $200 per year, well below the potential $200,000 per year here in America. I would like to hear my fellow SDN'ers comment on this, especially Law2Doc seeing as how he generally knows about these things.
