I have very mixed feelings about this. What career choices currently exist for the person he killed?

"They will either admit me or they won't," Mr. Hamm said in an interview in the ranch house here where lives with his wife, Donna, 53, a former county court judge who married him six years after she met him while touring the prison and five years before he was released. Another woman who is in love with a murderer. It seems like the easiest way to get married these days is to murder someone.

On the other hand, what despicable deeds have ever before kept someone from remaining a lawyer or even a president for that matter?

Should an admitted murderer be admitted to the bar?Why not, Angela Davis is a tenured professor at the University of California. < /sarcasm >
To: ambrose
But, he was only disbarred from being heard by the Supreme Court. And, his law license was merely suspended in ARK. In another few years he can return to being a lawyer.

That's true. But a rare case. However, he did keep the presidency, and his wife won a senate seat, for crimes a lot worse than a couple of murders, weilding a lot more power than mere lawyers.
To: summer
He has the perfect background and credentials to be a lawyer.
If he dodged the draft and never inhaled, he could be President..

His crimes are offensive, but do not rise to the level of impeachment.

Dude, that old "nice guy and good provider" bait for luring women is SO Nineteenth-Century!
Unless you are looking for a bride outside the borders of the USA and most Western countries.

"ALL LAWYERS are CRIMINALS"
If that is the case sir, you are one who fellates goats.
I am a lawyer and I am NOT a criminal. I do appreciate lawyer jokes but your comment is just f**king baseless.
