The skill gap between a very good lawyer and a worse than average lawyer is already huge. The impact of this gap is highlighted by the O.J. Simpson quote "In America, you get as much justice as you can afford."
someone with the wherewithal to get out there practicing competently enough to continue retaining clients at a profit is just as skilled as any other lawyer from any other pedigree up yonder. apples to oranges.
any 'quality' or 'skill' gap between legal representation is a relative thing. there's shitty doctors, lawyers, accountants, and everything else everywhere.
and the type of law O.J. Simpson was ostensibly referring to is like the .009% of law practice.
Yes, so if you add new shittier people that relative difference gets larger, that is what the person above you said. This doesn't reduce the level uniformly.
