Is there any state where you car take the bar exam (attorney at law ) with out going to law school?
It seems to me that if I can pass exam I should be able to practice law with out going to law school since legal questions are usually researched not committed to memory.
There are several states where you can still do it the old fashioned way: an apprenticeship. These include California, Maine, New York, Vermont, Virginia, Washington State, and Wyoming. You still must pass the bar exam though. The length of the apprenticeship varies by state.
