Phoenix is a lawyer...to do law or go to law school u have to have AMAZING grades and be INCREDIBLY smart. That means Phoenix must have been smart!
Im not saying he's dumb, its just that he doesn't seem AMAZINGLY smart
what do people think?

Congratulations, you just won the internet! XD
I always thought Phoenix was fairly smart, though his lack of knowledge on certain subjects (ballistics, evidence law, etc.) is a little astounding.

And I do average in school.
I don't think you have to be particularly smart to be a lawyer. I think in Phoenix's case it is more his determination and drive to become a lawyer that gets him through. After all, he HAS to help his "friend". Being determined can get you pretty far.

Phoenix must be either really smart or really lucky to have passed the bar so quickly, though (there's barely a three year gap between his last months as a 4th year undergrad and his first case, so he must have passed the test during or immediately after law school); I think I only know one person in RL who passed it on their first try.

"LEGALIZED ABORTION, SIR!"
"GOOD! WHAT DID BROWN V. BOE DO!?"
"OVERTURNED THE "SEPARATE, BUT EQUAL" SEGREGATION LAW!"
"GOOD! WHAT'S TWO PLUS THREE?"
"Um....THE COLOR ORANGE, SIR?"
"WRONG! BUT 2/3 ISN'T BAD! YOU PASS!"
"Alright!"
And it pretty much went like that.

As for people who mentioned the LSAT... I don't think they have those in Japan (correct me if I'm wrong, I am no expert in Japanese law). We have to remember that the law system (and therefore the law school system) is nothing like any law system currently in practice, but based more on the Japanese system than anything.
Miles Edgeworth proves the fact that the system has to be fairly different from ours.
He attended 4th grade at the same time as Phoenix and Larry, they were all 9 years old.
The next time Edgeworth surfaces, he is a 20 year old prosecutor. Phoenix is presumably a second year art student at Ivy University. Under the US system, law school takes about three years. Meaning Edgeworth started law school when Phoenix was probably a senior in high school.
To get into law school, you already need a 4 year Bachelors Degree, meaning Edgeworth was 13 when he started university classes, while Phoenix was probably finishing up middle school/junior high/whatever you call it where you come from.
That means in four years Edgeworth managed to cover material from fifth through twelfth grade. It's pretty much impossible to do and so I think it proves my point that law school in AA/GS land is clearly pretty different than it is elsewhere.
That means there could be drastically different educational standards, so maybe Phoenix didn't really need to be that smart to get by.
