How to pass the CA bar exam to be an attorney?

Is it possible to pass the bar exam without going to law school?

  • Like Leonardo di Caprio in that movie. And if he passes the bar in that state, would he have to pass another bar to practice in another jurisdiction?

  • Answer:

    yes, in a few states. yes, each state requires you to take a test.

Most states require that a person applying to take the Bar exam show proof of graduation from an accredited law school in that state. All states (except graduates of the 2 law schools in Wisconsin) require the passing of the bar exam before a license to practice law in that state is issued. A few states will recognize another state's license (reciprocity). Some will recognize a portion of another state's bar exam (the MSE or Multi-State part) but still require passing that state's specific exam. Check with the Bar Association in the specific State

Last time I checked, several years ago, there was one state that allowed a person to challenge the bar after serving an apprenticeship with a lawyer for several years. I am unaware of anyone who successfully did that. In general, one gets licensed one state at a time. Each state has its own rules about licensing of lawyers who are licensed in other states.

Yes. Here in california you can study under a lawyer for a few years and take the test.

In many places, you can't sit for the bar exam unless you have a JD.

...you must be living in KaLiFoRniA ! ...caught up in some Hollywood dream world and fantasy land.

The same as it would it be possible to pass a driving test without sitting in a car or a pilot's licence from a train. Leo is an actor, they can fly if they want to, Don't take Hollywood too seriously and certainly don't take any of your life's lessons from them.
