Law office study remains very rare. Law office readers comprised only 60 of the 83,986 people who took state and multi-state bar exams last year, according to the New York Times. They are also less likely to pass those exams. Only 28 percent of the tiny minority of law office readers passed their bar exams last year, compared to 78 percent of students who attended American Bar Association-approved law schools, reports The Times.
This article is from 2014 but I can't imagine the percentages have gotten much better for the people who didn't go to law school.

Think of it in terms of med school
The practical experience of learning how to perform as a doctor is done in residency. The med school set up is far more effective in preparing doctors for practical application of their craft
Law school for the most part stops at the books. I believe most lawyers would tell you that law school does very little in the way of teaching you how to practice law
Ideally you would want maybe 2 years of book studies than a couple years of clerkship/apprenticeship

Why? Just curious
Because apprenticeships allow you to learn in a hands on setting and you pick up the intangibles that you can't gain from a classroom. You learn on the job and gain knowledge from your teachers who are fully immersed in the subject matter themselves.
How many times have you heard someone say they got a degree, but when they got hired, their superiors told them how they wanted things done anyway. Sometimes it lined up with what they were taught in a classroom and sometimes it didn't.

"Smart enough"
Where in the hell did you get the idea Kim K is smart. Because she can give good bead to AA males and video tape it?

Well much like law school the bar exam doesn’t test you on your ability to practice law. It is a compilation of various legal knowledge, most of which will be of no use to you in practice

That, plus looking over contracts for the things her family gets into. They will have those little ones painting smiley faces on doo-doo balls and selling them to the other kindergartners.

My guess is that it's not necessarily a worse way to learn the law, but rather these "law office readers" are children of privilege (e.g., kids of the law partners) who weren't really law-school material to begin with, so the odds were already low.

She wants to work "pro-boner".

Perhaps if you can figure a way to get someone to take the Bar exam for you.
Spending a few weeks in a law school class doesn't preclude you from studying on your own and an apprenticeship would probably be rather narrow training (limited to the field of your tutor), not sure how that would qualify you to pass a Bar exam.
Also, the pass rate in CA for non ABA law school graduates is pretty bleak.

She will change to med school when the wind changes directions

The only thing that will qualify you for passing the bar exam is studying for it appropriately
Everything you need to know to pass a bar exam will be in the bar prep books. How much time you need to apply to learning that will differ and so will the study methods
An apprentice would obviously need more time studying as their general legal knowledge will be limited
I don’t think anyone is suggesting an apprenticeship is better for passing the bar

Good for her. She desires to do more than just sell makeup and be a reality star.

Why I suggest earlier that 2 years of schooling, followed by bar exam followed my apprenticeship for 2 years would be much better
Much closer to the UKs method of law (being that their law school is essentially their undergrad)

And honestly 28% is much higher than I would have guessed

No. She wants us to talk about her and pay attention to her and her family of attention whores.

Most ambitious law school students (basically all of them) try to obtain legal clerkships while in law school for experience. There is nothing precluding a law student from obtaining the same, or better, experience before graduating.
That said, KK does not strike me as a person who is tremendously disciplined or studious. I imagine KK saw some attorneys working and thought "hey I can do this, it looks, like, easy". I'd give her about a 1 in 20 shot of pulling this off. She'll likely get bored out of her mind and decide she'd rather hang out with her girlfriends at Cabo, long before she ever sits for the exam.
