I don't think that being a lawyer would make someone a better English teacher. This is nonsensical. 😒

It entirely depends on your perspective and to whom you are teaching English. I come from a family of engineers and my grandmother was a teacher. If you are teaching to the public schools, maybe not, but people can be multifaceted. If you're teaching ESL to international business people, then other experience is actually beneficial and makes for fascinating conversations. My baby brother is a lawyer and teaches on the side when he chooses. You have to have an excellent command on the language and be highly literature for that career.
