Law schools (or at least the top 20 school that I went to) are definitely not 100% focused on teaching you the vocation of being an attorney.
Hell, they aren't even focused on teaching you to pass the bar, which is why most people pay for separate cram schools.
- acoard 9y agoYet, going to law school is a pre-requisite for becoming the vocation of a lawyer. Arguably, "a school one must go to in order to practice a vocation" can be referred to as a "vocational school." I understand that vocational schools are often thought to be purely practical and not theoretical, but I think this definition does a disservice to the reality of entering certain vocations.
- kod 9y agoNo, it is not a pre-requisite. At least in the U.S., several states still allow you to pass the bar and become a licensed attorney without going to law school.
