He'd be reapplying to the bar, so even if the examiners had been living under a rock, his application for readmission would indicate why he lost his license to beging with. I'm not saying that his application to be readmitted shouldn't even be considered had he been pardoned, just that a pardon wouldn't, and shouldn't, equal automatic readmission.
