I looked it up on the net and it said the USA has the most lawyers in the world per capita, that means per the amount of people in the country.

That's right. They have 5 percent of the pop. which is the most.

well my guess would have to go to the United States of America. I think we have one lawyer for every two adults, We need to have that many to keep up with frivolous lawsuits, divorces, marriage pre nups, and all the other great things they do, lol. It must be hard to be a lawyer, I now a lot of them are fine people who preform a needed task.

That is a cool question. I would guess to say it is the United States of America. Is that right or wrong?

Logic says it has to be the USA of course. There are many lawsuits filed in America, because there are also many international companies which are registered there as well. In addition the USA is s democratic country, and vey different in their outlook to other countries which have large populations. Whichever country it actually is, I think most people would consider that there are too many lawyers/solicitors in their own country. It seems they are everywhere and doing a lot of business as well. I see now that many of these Lawyers/Solicitors have now formed themselves into companies too. This means that they can open branches anywhere in the world, i.e. they are international companies now.

I thought the United States would be too obvious, so my next guess would have been England. Perhaps I guessed them because I find it engrossing to hear them use the word 'barrister.' But, living in the land of the lawsuits, I'm not surprised the answer is the United States.
