    Then maybe I misremembered and you don’t have to go to law school to pass the bar and become a lawyer. I knew someone years ago who was a practicing attorney who never graduated college.

      Some few states allow you to take the exam without any eduction requirements. California is one of them. But these places have the hardest bar exams.

      Also foreign lawyers can sit for US bar exams after doing only a one year bridge LLM degree in U.S. law which is offered by most ABA accredited law schools in states where there is an education requirement.
