That kind of thinking is caused by living in a system where so many questionable lawsuits are brought before a court that you get used to the idea that what ultimately matters is the quality of each party's legal team. What you are forgetting is that there are many cases where the facts and the law unambiguously favours one of the parties. And in those cases, no amount lawyering up will matter, because judges are not as a rule incompetent. In a system where fewer questionable lawsuits are brought to begin with, the clear cut cases will become more visible, verdicts will be less controversial, and people's faith in the system will rise. To the extent that some cases are not brought, because the facts don't support them well enough, that's a good thing. To the extent that some cases are not brought, because the law is unclear, making a lawsuit risky, that's a problem for law makers to solve.
