Of course, this means one can legitimately become an EL without a law degree.
It is part of the Old World tradition.

It was actually possible to do the same thing in some states until a few decades ago.

Virginia still allows it, but you still have to pass their bar.

Virginia is still a state? who in their right mind would set up a law practice there?



PS California will allow to sit for the bar with degrees from un-ABA accredited correspondence law schools.

You are correct sir about Cali, also the reason their bar passage rate for all takers remains around 50%. A lesson for those who think accrediting doesn't matter.


I misspoke about Virginia...it is not a state...it is a commonwealth.

Interesting tidbit about bar takers in Cali.

Graduates of ABA schools have a first-time pass rate of approximately 69%, while graduates of non-ABA schools pass at a rate of about 25% on the first try.

Personally I think there are other reasons for CA dismal pass rate, but I will withhold from opining them in public. LOL

It still gets a star on the flag, though.

Benefits to an accredited program, who would have thunk it?

And what do you know?...The governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia went to an ABA accredited law school.

Not sure what that has to do with anything but thought I would throw it in.

According to Doctor P. Bradley Carey, accreditation is DECEPTION:
