In many european courts the judge will want to keep fees within reason?
If you hire a very expensive lawyer for a simple case then don't expect to be fully compensated. Also, you or your lawyer has 15 claims but can convince the judge of only one then while you might still "win" the case, you will not be compensated in full because you wasted the courts and the defendants time. This means that lawyers have to focus on their best arguments and lawsuits are usually shorter and the arguments much easier to understand.

Yes, we need to be able to construct, use and respect pseudonyms. Please consider the case of Why_the_lucky_stiff in this context: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_the_lucky_stiff
