My friend says you don't need a degree to become an attorney, just pass the bar exam. I say he wrong. Is he Depends on what state you're in. In 2005, seven States鈥擟alifornia, Maine, New York, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming鈥攁ccepted the study of law in a law office as qualification for taking the bar examination; three jurisdictions鈥擟alifornia, the District of Columbia, and New Mexico鈥攏ow accept the study of law by correspondence. Several States require registration and approval of students by the State Board of Law Examiners, either before the students enter law school or during their early years of legal study. http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos053.htm... You can meet California鈥檚 legal education requirements by spending at least four years studying law under the personal supervision of a California judge of record or a California attorney in his or her law office. (The attorney must be an active member of the State Bar of California who has been in practice for the last five years or longer.) For more detailed information, visit the State Bar鈥檚 Web site at www.calbar.ca.gov and click on Admissions. http://calbar.ca.gov/state/calbar/calbar... Source(s): (You have to put your study years in no matter which route you take!) actually he is correct my uncle is a lawyer Your friend and the moron that answered above me are totally crazy,you need a J.D(juris doctor) in order to apply for the bar exam. Law school student I'm sorry but your friend is wrong. Indeed you do need a degree to be able to take the Bar exam. I have provided a website below that has alot of information on hoe to become an attorney. Hope it helps |
