<p>Well it depends on what you define to be a “bad lawyer.” There are many different skills involved in law. One of them, for instance, is being able to sell yourself and organize / round up a team for tasks. If you’re good at this, chances are you will be more likely to be “promoted” and earn a higher income than someone who isn’t. That doesn’t mean that the good advertiser who doesn’t have as much legal knowledge as some others is a bad lawyer; it means he’s good at being a lawyer with regards to this aspect, and his salary benefits from it.</p>
