Don't get me wrong, not ALL overseas trained grads are lousier than ALL local law grads.
The variance in quality between the worst and the best UK grads is wider than the case for local grads.
If you plotted a normal distribution curve for quality, the deviation for overseas students would be far wider than the for local students, which would be narrow and sharp in the mean.

IF UK grads mean = local grad mean, AND UK grads variance > local grads variance (you suggested), this implies that a good number of overseas grad (for eg oxbridge) will be better than the local in term of quality.
Although this may be controversial, it may not be untrue.
