I don’t believe lawyers, as a group, are above-average people. Neither are medical, financial, military or theatrical people. Neither are politicians.
The bell curve applies to all occupations.
That’s actually not the case. Different professions have very different average IQs. Some clearly have different average ethical quotients as well.
The MCat and the LSAT does weed out the less qualified.

I have paid close attention to these so-called above-average people for over 60 years, and I have come to exactly the same conclusion you’ve expressed here. And just to give a little credibility to my comment (and yours), I do have a graduate degree so I’m not some ignorant philistine.
