But yeah, he'd be a shit partner if he didn't at least coach Howard on how to get the client back.

He wants Jimmy not to be a lawyer because he believes the profession is somehow on a pedestal, far above Jimmy's ability to function within the ethical guidelines. He knows what Slippin Jimmy is and a degree from The U of American Samoa won't change that. In fact it may make it worse because it gives Jimmy access and insight into new and exciting ways to be a grifter. JMO
