This does exist, but has become less common over time instead of more common. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_law
- john01dav 21d agoThat is not meaningfully different to my estimation, since it is not test-only. Instead, you need to get accepted to an internship/apprenticeship, and then do that for a number of years, prior to having the law license. For gatekeeping purposes, this is functionally the same as requiring getting accepted into a law school and then doing that for a number of years prior to having the law license.
- dghlsakjg 17d agoThere are still states that allow anyone that can pass the bar exam to practice law without any experience or internship.
- Ancapistani 17d agoName them? I’m only aware of California and Virginia, both of which I believe have an apprenticeship requirement.
