All "economic" activity is included in the GDP and this includes litigation. Also the U.S. has a very high divorce rate that *adds* to the GDP. The GDP is not a very useful measure for the *quality* of life factors. The GP of this thread when mention "civilized" was referring to human right and quality of life factors that enhances standard of living.
The confusion in the U.S. is that it conflates GDP and "wealth" with standard of living.
