I think the state bar forces you to do the schooling to be eligible to sit for the exam. I think it costs about $1000 per exam try. Pass rate is about 60% here. Probably have a better time playing Keno or scratch offs TBHAnd my wife tells me I have to many guns. Looks like I just need to be a fancy ITP lawyer. Can I skip the schooling part and just go take the bar?
