I would have thought you can just take the bar exam, but uh... Apparently, at least in California, you do need at least 4 years of education in law provided by an accredited school or with a judge before you can even apply to take the exam.
Well shit. Those movies about random dudes just taking the bar out of nowhere and becoming lawyers are bullshit.

What a lot of those movies leave out is that they are attending an accredited law program to get their J.D. degree. It doesn't have to be a good law school, just one that meets the education requirements.

It used to be more common but only two states allow it now.
