[quote=spdrun]Bearishgurl — actually, California is one of the US states that permits “reading the law.” If you have an employer that’s willing to vouch for you, you might be able to sit the bar exam after some time without attending law school.[/quote]That’s fine and dandy but no one will hire me as a “newbie attorney” at my age so your suggestion is moot. But thanks for it anyway 🙂
