The document notes that Spain was the sixth European country with more budged allocated to justice: 4,632,278,011 euro in 2010. It also specifies that there are 10.2 judges out of 100,000 inhabitants, compared to the European average of 21.3. It is also one the countries with the highest number o lawyers per judge: 26.7.
