Depends on the state. In Virginia, California, Vermont, and Washington you can take the bar exam without going to law school. It requires an "apprenticeship" with a licensed attorney.

In Virginia, this is a news story once a year or so. As I recall, it takes three years X number of hours per week. And you're doing it for free -- you can't be paid. (This is the path Kim Kardashian is taking in California, too, to become a lawyer.)

Interesting. Ive only looked into Wyoming and Illinois. If I pursue this path, what should I do to prepare?

Thanks

Look at the requirements for each state. I know Virginia is a three year apprenticeship program. I think California is four years. Finding a mentor is supposedly not all that easy. Good luck.
