A big part of law school is learning how much you don't know about the law

Some legal questions you know the answer to because they are basic or because you've worked in the relevant area
Most legal questions you either need to research or refer to a specialist - and that's as a credentialed lawyer!

In a sense this is much like medicine, a generalist is only going to know so much, if you have a serious problem that's resistant to frontline treatments they are going to refer you out to a specialist
