Under the new guidelines, lawyers can forgo the bar, first administered in Delaware in 1783, by participating in a six-month apprenticeship and finishing three courses. Additionally, students must complete a minimum of three hours of legal work per week and 12 skills credits as licensed legal interns, garnering up to 500 hours of law experience before graduation to complete their portfolios.

The eligibility to become a licensed law practitioner will also extend to law clerks even if they haven’t finished law school by completing 500 hours of work as a licensed legal intern and “completing standardized educational materials and benchmarks under the guidance of a mentoring attorney.”


This isn't so bad actually.

Actually prepares you more than the Bar does.

I’m in partial agreement with you there.

The only way it’s bad is if everyone is pushed through those hours and credits. If you can’t “fail” anyone going through it because of “reasons,” it’s not a good program. I’m sure the state will get some money from it, though!
