Passing The Bar Exam

Subjects > Law
Apprentices become lawyers without law school:
- http://www.lawschool.com/noneed.htm - No need for law school
- http://www.slate.com/id/2108397 - "Law school drop outs can be lawyers in New York, California, Maine, Vermont, Virginia, Wyoming, and Washington... Neither Abraham Lincoln nor Clarence Darrow, for example, graduated from law school. But lawyers who took this route are a relative rarity nowadays, and there are usually fewer than 400 students nationwide pursuing law office study at any given time."
California Bar Exam:
Baby Bar Exam
The phrase "Baby Bar Examination" is not unlike the oxymoron "Jumbo Shrimp," in that there is nothing "baby" about it. Pass rates over the past five years averaged below 20%. When one considers the subjects contained in this examination (Contracts, Torts, and Criminal Law), along with the length of the examination (usually eight hours), one realizes that there is nothing baby about this examination. - http://www.british-american.edu/information/fylsx.aspx

Apprentice Tutoring
"California allows students to read for the law by apprenticing with lawyers (and judges I believe). Not many people take this route, and the failure rate on the Bar exam is the highest of any category of instruction. The principal reason, I believe, is that the lawyers don't provide the structure required for the learning. Pacific Law appears to be an exception. Attorney Steven Schectman & some associates have apprenticed 6 environmental activists who they are training to be "the most dangerous lawyers in America" (as quoted in the Wall Street Journal). I have added my assistance in tutoring the apprentices to the instruction the attorneys are giving them. In effect I am doing my own review in 1st year subjects with the apprentices. I really missed working with other students during law school and it is very exciting to sit around a table with a group of people who are quite interested in whether Res Ipsa Loquitur proves duty and breach, or just breach. I'm having a good time, they like it, and it keeps me focused on law while I await the Bar results. The collegial learning, and the serious intent of the lawyers to create a new generation of activist attorneys, may provide the discipline that other apprentices don't get. We'll see in October when several of them are scheduled to take the Baby Bar. If you want to see their pictures, go to the Pacific Law link (supra). (Four of the apprentices took the Baby Bar in Oct 1999. All four passed, which is an extraordinary result. I think that the disipline of the approach I introduced to them - which made heavy use of Fleming's outlines and memorization of mnemonics, and many sample multiple choice questions - was important in achieving this result)" - Source: http://www.asis.com/~edenson/lawstudy.html
