He passed the bar exam and was admitted to the Michigan bar. Only lawyers are admitted to the bar, so someone who is admitted to the bar is a lawyer.
No stupid. Get it through your head.
Look, what year was his occupation “attorney”?
Shut up man. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
“He passed the bar exam and was admitted to the Michigan bar. Only lawyers are admitted to the bar, so someone who is admitted to the bar is a lawyer.”
He was in the consulting business, where having passed the bar was a resume enhancer.
Consultants apply for engagements, and their resumes are submitted.
I believe he started for McKinsey, which is a top flight consulting firm. His company probably told him to do it.
And having taken the courses, earned the degree, it is natural followup to do the bar.
But he did not become a lawyer, he became a consultant, later a venture capitalist.
Do you understand? His career is in business, not arguing cases in court.
Are you being obtuse on purpose, or do you really not get it. Clint's comment, which is the context we are discussing this here, is that we don't need people who have only been lawyers in office. We need business people. Mitt did not practice as an attorney. He "practiced" as a business guy for many decades. So he holds a law degree? So what. If you hold a PGA Tour Card but you run a business instead of playing golf, you are not a golfer, you are a business man?
Do you get it yet?
