Joe Ryan is not an attorney, but he did earn a Law Degree from the same ABA Approved Law School that SD District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis graduated from

        The vast majority of the members of congress also have law degrees. While membership in congress is not reserved for attorneys (Hallelujah); having a law degree is certainly a valuable asset for any person that will represent the electorate in floor debates, and in meetings where matters of law might be discussed, and where staff might not be available to provide legal guidance or an opinion regarding a proposed law's constitutionality. Right now, most bills are being written by crafty Think Tank staff members, not congressional staff members. Sending someone to congress who doesn't possess a law degree can't help. Joe Ryan pursued his law degree for business purposes and never sat for the bar exam, but he proved recently - by whipping Bonnie Dumanis in a jury trial - that he can effectively utilize his education, to battle corruption or partisan harassment, when necessary.

Duncan D, Hunter has No Law Degree and no Significant legal Education

      Duncan Hunter jr does not have the respect of the attorneys who comprise congress, and he never will. They understand that he's wet behind the ears when it comes to understanding the law or the constitution, and they will always treat him accordingly.
      Whether you like attorneys or hate them, there are certain jobs that require the use of a law education, and being a member of congress is one of those jobs.
      Duncan Hunter says he has a business degree from SDSU. That's nice, but there's no evidence he's ever spent one moment engaged in business activities (despite his constantly morphing resume).
      It's admirable he did a couple tours in the military since he graduated from SDSU, but that's all he's seemingly done in his whole life. That's it. His qualifications for sitting in congress involve loading artillery shells. Again, that's great he fought, but that's not going to cut it. A fake resume is a fake resume. I assume he wouldn't make up his SDSU degree, and I'm sure he served in the military, but beyond that, his past is as mysterious as can be.
