I basically agree with that. But if a client wants to take his chance on a non bar-certified lawyer to save money, I suppose that should be an option - at least in theory. In practice., it would likely open a huge can of worms. Nowadays, we often see cases being overturned on appeal because the convicted party claims they received poor counsel. How would that scenario be handled if non-bar lawyers were allowed to practice?
Think that through to its logical conclusion -- non-bar lawyers will become prosecuting attorneys and judges. A neomarxist Soros wet dream. **shudder**
As a preview, Nathan Wade gradumikated from John Marshall Law Skrewel. Not the actual Chicago "John Marshall" -- which has renamed itself as "UI-Chicago" because John Marshall was supposedly a slave trader -- but Hotlanta's John Marshall version which is edumakating ex-slaves, albeit only with accreditation since 2005, and the skrewel was on probation as recently as 2017.
By the way, Nategums, you need to update your website, as this is no longer a factual representation as an officer of the court:
"As a private practitioner for many years and a recently appointed Special Assistant Attorney General for the State of Georgia, Nathan J. Wade has been recognized by his peers with numerous awards for his excellence as an attorney and for his service to his community, to include Georgia’s Top Lawyer/Legal Elite award and the Justice Robert Benham Award for Community Service."
