Walter K. Olson's The Litigation Explosion

Walter K. Olson an author, and blogger who writes predominantly about legal subjects wrote "The Litigation Explosion” which is connected to how lawsuits in America started to become seen as a new fashion or a new trend. Olson stated that “people tend to fight harder when inflamed by dreams of riches or fears of ruin” (224). Litigation has increased and for decades the United States has commemorated an increase of the litigious, but because of an experiment the litigious culture became more extreme during the 1960s and 1970s. As the climate in law school attends increased, thus shaped the litigious culture in America as law schools admired and supported litigation. Accordingly, “The Litigation Explosion” stated that America's litigious culture was starting to become a disaster as if it's another “Big Bang.” The increase of litigation in the United States has many advantages and disadvantages and the reasons for the increase may be harmful or not to the American society.
To live in a litigious legal culture for a fact possesses advantages as well as disadvantages. Olson stated, three types of litigation; ethical rules that are setup to control the legal profession itself, a consistent theme too narrow and

focus a dispute within lose limits, and lastly, to consider a particular unmistakable approach to writing and interpreting legal rules. In order to consider the advantages and disadvantages of living a litigious legal culture, it's substantial to realize what are the differences and what are the advantages and disadvantages of living in this culture. To begin, a few of the advantages of living in litigious legal culture might be it helps sunder some of the most sensitive and profound relationships, such as the relationship between parents who fostered a child together, the fact that this litigation rewards the alpha irresistible, and when litigation is successful it contributes to relief to the instigator like money or rights to visit a child. On the other hand, the disadvantages of living in a litigious legal culture would be it sows much friction and distrust between the productive enterprises in which material progress depends and all who attain their products, work in their offices, join in their undertakings. Another disadvantage would be it torments the probable innocent, as well as the fact that it's expensive, time-consuming, and difficult for parties to come to conclude and the outcome to select a judge. Litigation and its threat have begun metastasizing to virtually every sector of the economy.
On the other hand, I side with Olson that too much litigation is detrimental to America. To begin, it's paramount to apprehend why people in the United States are suing one another for every one thing. I feel as though that the competition in America is rising, which is a reason litigation is detrimental to America. People are fighting harder for their dreams of being wealthy when they lack a community and America is becoming a competition than a community. It's becoming easier and easier to sue, but the conclusion of the case is demonstrating an extensive time to get finished. To include; litigation is unfair because of how costly and a financial burden it can be. The wealthier person in a case would be more successful in view of the fact that they would be competent to allocate more money on superior lawyers which would conclude in them having a more compelling argument.
Litigation in the United States took a toll for a few decades, especially as the climate of law school attends increased. Although Americans didn't see this extreme increase in litigation until the 1960s and 1970s, when more people were attending law school and working for practices. There was a unique experiment in freeing the legal profession that caused this increase and Americas increase of unregulated business of regulation. The first reason for this extreme increase would be that by the 1970s, law schools had turned around on the subject of litigation first too obstinately and then to admire and support. The second reason for litigation increasing from the United States would be that there was a theory that the more lawyering the better and fairer life in America would be.
These developments of the increase in litigation contributed to the an ongoing increase in litigious culture in America because of the result of the changes in law.

For example, the law changed from precise rules to obscure principles. America is more litigious than ever because of the multiple changes in the law and the dramatic increase of the costs. It's substantial to realize that America did not litigate harder because of the contentious population, but because lawsuits increased since those who shaped the legal system wanted more lawsuits. Lawyers started to advertise more by creating commercials, newspaper advertisements, and other ways to advertise for their business, hence the reason lawyers saw a litigation culture as a “compensation” and

“deterrence”.
The most compelling reasons for defending the development even though it may have contributed to increased litigation would be that it led to the invasion of privacy, legal debts, and public distrust in public-markets hence the reason for this enormous increase of litigation and people suing each other for the trivial things and pursue justice against corporations. Olson stated that lawsuits over allegedly defective products have been another area of growth of the litigation business, which has resulted from the welfare of society. As more people sue for major corporations the litigation business increases, which is a compelling argument about the development of increased litigation.
Olson made it evident that there is an indisputable, yet a conglomerate increase by litigation in America's Society. Litigations are filled with hefty costs, timely manners, and federal courts are accompanying the major explosion. The three types of litigation defense can involve the ethical rules that set up to control the legal profession itself, which had a role to fan the fire of litigation. Another type of litigation defense is the definite lines of responsibility, as well as the rules of legal procedure acting as another type of defense. Judicial ethics began to stress the lawyer's obligations to push clients' rights as it bestowed the idea of American litigation. By Olson’s book “The Litigation explosion” we notice his argument for legal reform, as well as the old-fashioned law to court.
