"In fact, an American-based legal system isn't being imposed on France or any other country. But providers and consumers of legal services are creating an international legal order that is largely based on American and common law principles. It is more "market driven" by consumers than "law driven" by legislative authorities enacting statutes." Okay, so what exactly is a legal system if it's not driven by law? The whole concept of law becomes essentially moot if it is just another service industry.
