My understanding is you can actually take the bar exam in several states without having attended law school. Regulations can always be changed, I don't see groups or the government pushing to liberalize training requirements and allow boot camps to train someone to take these tests.

It varies state by state but yes, in some states you can take the BAR exam without attending law school. In California, for example, you have to apprentice for a practicing lawyer for four years and have five years experience practicing (18 hrs per week) before you can take the test
