Many have been arguing for decades, that training in law school for prospective attorneys and their bar exams are merely means of keeping students out of more essential endeavors.
They question whether all the training is necessary these days, when legal precepts can be readily consulted and searched via the internet.
Just before World-War II, many states would not require a formal law degree, in order to take the bar exam.
Our most famous lawyers, including Patrick Henry and Abe Lincoln, never went to law school. They “read” law in a lawyer’s office and passed the bar with a test from a local judge.
These days, you can buy vast assortments of routine- application legal forms that are created by lawyers. You still need them for serious work but the demand for their high- priced hands-on efforts is diminished.
But, a law degree still takes less brains and effort than do science or math diplomas. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
