No, Mona went to law school. She is not a practicing attorney.

No, she's not a practicing attorney, but an attorney she is nonetheless.

I don't believe she has ever passed the bar or worked as an attorney. So no, she is not an attorney "nonetheless"

Once you graduate from an accredited law school with a law degree, you are an attorney. You are simply not a trial attorney or one who has passed a bar exam. You are still a lawyer -- most corporate lawyers fit this category.

That's not accurate. You are not an attorney, and cannot hold yourself out as one, until you are admitted to the bar of at least one state. Corporate lawyers still need to be admitted to a bar.
