> Passing an ethics test and background check may indicate you're fit to be an attorney, but it certainly doesn't give you the skills or knowledge to be one.

Why should someone be prohibited from hiring such an person as their attorney though? The implication of what you say is that people shouldnt want them as an attorney but the question is if they should be disallowed.

Being presumed to be unskilled just doesnt seem like a good reason especially since you grant they are fit.
