In my county(county, not country), most are working class folks and with a certail level of pride. When on jury duty here the judge told us that lawyers generally move "frivolous" and high dollar lawsuits to another county..the local juries simply will not award freebies and high winnings to those who seem to be milking the system at the expense of another.  

Sure, this is digression but law here is based somewhat on what is reasonable and the ridiculous is often dismissed.
