    Except you’re comparing LEGAL SYSTEMS with ORDERING FOOD

    They aren’t comparable.

    I’m almost positive I could navigate ordering food from almost anywhere in the world, as long as I could speak their language.

    But I don’t for a second think I could navigate their legal system, and in quite a few cases from my understanding, I wouldn’t be able to do anything at all as a foreigner.

    Sure, it MIGHT be similar enough. But I’m not going to risk it, and I would prefer to at least ask someone with more local knowledge than myself. Probably a lawyer but if it’s only passing curiosity, a simple question on a website will do.

      Well yeah, i couldn’t make a lawsuit in my hometown or in a different country without a lawyer either. Yes, you get a lawyer and they file a lawsuit in the appropriate court, whether it’s your home country or a foreign country. Yes, the process will be different but it doesn’t matter which country youre a citizen of.
