Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Maybe I should've added in that it was specifically referring to the US in my first comment, but I also wanted to use it as an example to show that there is some significant nuance and depth to the subject.
In any case, most of the world does understand US terminology in some manner. For example, the Philippines courts referenced "so-called Miranda rights" when establishing their law.
That's exactly what I did in the comment you just replied to:
But that doesn't include the story about the lawyer dog, which seemed relevant to this post with a dog giving legal advice.
Well.... We did kinda occupy The Philippines for about 60-70 years. It makes sense that their legal system might look like ours, kinda like Japan as well. I know we basically set up the modern Japanese government, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out we did the same thing in The Philippines.
