When Medical Debt Collectors Decide Who Gets Arrested

It is also called "reading the law". But you are right, you do it under the supervision of a licensed attorney. Reading the law does not get you out of sitting for the bar exam. Going to a top-10 law school does not get you out of sitting for the bar exam either, at least in California.

In Cali, the pass rate for the bar exam (3 days long) was around 45% when my wife took it (and passed it on first go! Yay!). So, sure, in CA you can sit for the bar exam after reading the law, and hang out your own shingle, and maybe become a judge. If you pass the bar exam, you are, and in IMHO deserve to be, good to go.

Thanks for that additional insight, I had not known it was also called reading the law. I think yeah if you pass the bar exam you deserve to be good to go for sure. I assume those who do this are not considered to have "studied law" which is what the OP in this thread is seemingly missing in my opinion.
