So? What's your point? That Mr. Mitchell isn't any more competent than the vast majority of trial lawyers? Wasn't it our previous Chief Justice of the Supreme Court that told a graduating class at Harvard Law School that more than 70% of all trial lawyers are incompetent? And he was probably feeling magnanimous towards lawyers that day, because I'd wager that 70% is a critically low evaluation. If Mr. Gilbertson chooses to "buck the system" then he has just as good a chance winning with any "man off the street" as he does with a lawyer.
