You realize there are huge outsourcing industries (in the legal and accounting sector among others) where workers in India, China, etc. are trained to learn American standards, etc.

Most of those are doing the grunt work. But when it comes to go in the court who is going to go?

Most legal work is grunt work, the time spent in court is only a fraction of what a lawyer does.
