Believe it or not, being an attorney is not required for that job.
I only learned that about five or so years ago.
Shocking honestly.
Most sitting justices learn a lot about life, having to sit through cases.
I can’t imagine anyone being qualified without some practical courtroom experience, say ten years or so.
Believe it or not, being an attorney is not required for that job.

Too bad that non-qualification is followed. The framers wanted all government positions open to all people, not the caste that went to law school.
