    He can’t go to law school because he doesn’t have a bachelor’s degree which is a prerequisite. Say what you will about Kim K but she isn’t stupid, she just doesn’t have common sense.

        That and law school just means you’re very good at memorization and recall. It doesn’t mean you’re an intelligent god. Same with medical school, I’ve met frighteningly stupid people who memorized their way through both.

      To my understanding she failed the baby bar 3 or 4 times… I believe she’s been at it for… 6 years now or maybe more and is behind those who simply just went to college for their 4 years.

        I assume she’s trying to pass in California which is one of the very few states that let you sit for the bar exam without a JD from an accredited law school or any degree at all. In exchange for allowing that California also has the hardest bar exam of any state in the union.

        Also lawyers don’t just go to four years of college. They have to do that and get a degree in any subject and then attend law school which in the US is only ever a postgraduate program which requires a bachelor’s degree as a prerequisite. And even those who complete both of those levels of education often fail the California bar exam multiple times.

        Self study in comparison would be nearly impossible and the only way to actually succeed would probably be to apprentice under a practicing lawyer for many years, learn the trade that way, take an exam prep course and then maybe be able to pass. Granted in the olden days lawyers like Abraham Lincoln didn’t have any degree either and they were usually admitted to the bar after this type of apprenticeship.

        There is no ABA accredited law school in the United States that does not require the completion of a baccalaureate level education prior to attending. You need to confirm completion of such a degree before they will finalize your admission. If you are admitted as an undergrad and fail to finish your undergraduate degree they will revoke your admission or at the very least postpone it until you obtain a bachelor’s degree.

          Then maybe I misremembered and you don’t have to go to law school to pass the bar and become a lawyer. I knew someone years ago who was a practicing attorney who never graduated college.

            Some few states allow you to take the exam without any eduction requirements. California is one of them. But these places have the hardest bar exams.

            Also foreign lawyers can sit for US bar exams after doing only a one year bridge LLM degree in U.S. law which is offered by most ABA accredited law schools in states where there is an education requirement.

      Hmm disagree, she knows people and their psychology. I think she’s demonstrated a lot of great business sense too
