Or to widen it still further, in the US at least it appears to be necessary to hire lawyers to protect one's *rights* - rights of any kind, certainly not limited to anything involving money. Although ironically in a lot of cases the resolution is distilled into an amount of money changing hands, even when money was not involved in the original situation that resulted in the legal system becoming involved. It is probably seen to be the easiest way to conclude the thing.
