This has nepotism and pay-to-play written all over it


How? If anything, this gives a path forward for people who can't afford to take months away from work to study for the bar exam or pay Barbri for a prep course. Compare it to professional pilots, who can work towards the 1500 hours they need for their ATP license while getting paid to do flight instructing, towing banners, flying charters or cargo, and so forth.


Sure, some will undoubtedly have a smoother path based on their circumstances.

But combining people who want to profit with more people who want to "do lawyer things" is a bad recipe.
