I practiced law for 30 years, and I know what junior associates do in law firms. He had three years experience in a mid-level civil litigation firm. I've seen very large civil litigation of all kinds, know how it is staffed, handled, etc.. and the greatest third year lawyer who ever existed couldn't properly some of those cases.

And that's not even mentioning the massive difference between civil and criminal law. I've run some pretty large civil cases, but I'd be committing malpractice if I tried to run a major federal criminal investigation. And any decent, honest lawyer who knows his stuff would say the same.

It would be like putting a 3rd year plumber in as the lead electrical subcontractor on a multi-billion dollar building. He might be the greatest plumber who ever lived, but he's not going to be able to do plan and run that electrical. And I don't have to meet him personally to know that is true.
