How to Become a Lawyer Without Going to Law School

Did you know there are programs around the country that allow you to do just that?

They are called "Judges Chambers" programs, or "Law Office Study" programs. Essentially, you study under a judge or a lawyer for four years, take some competency exams and voila! You are eligible to take the bar - without law school.
