I've met people who are wicked smart but couldn't pass a test. I've met people who got straight As, in the Honors Society, and was on the Dean's list who couldn't find their way out of a paper bag.

I'm not saying law school isn't important. But it could be that the guy did do law school and choked on the exams and decided to just practice law anyway.

Test taking is a skill like any other, but it also largely does not match the actual work experience you're likely to encounter on any job. Long-term projects would make more sense but are harder to grade, and schools seem to expect teachers to grade on their own time.
