Obviously, the anglosphere (US/Canada/UK/Australia/NZ) uses common law, while the rest of the world uses civil law. The former is far more adversarial (lawyers play a major role, laws are set by precedent, more grey areas, etc), while the latter is more statute based (judges play a bigger role, lawyers not so much, more efficient, etc).
Anyways, my question, if an American has taken courses at a US law school, and/or obtained his Juris Doctor (JD), would this be of any use in (non UK) Europe such as Switzerland?
Think big picture (as in, would it help in the formation of a GmbH, etc?)
Assume he has no practical experience, and only went to law school in the US "for fun".
About as much use as a chocolate tea pot unless they have practical experience combined with some management experience which would allow them to possibly land a position with an MNC.
