How does one get “legal smart”? Or do you mean you become a lawyer?
- qingcharles 3y agoRead. A lot. Go to court a lot. Sue a lot without a lawyer. I would love to be legally able to practice law because then I could represent other people who can't afford a lawyer, as it is I can only sue for myself without a lawyer. The issue is that people think you only need to pass the bar exam, which I'm pretty certain I could do tomorrow if I brushed up on real estate, trusts, wills etc (my suits are all civil rights, torts, criminal defense). BUT, only four states allow you to take the bar exam without a law degree. And those four states still need apprenticeships. Which makes it really hard to become a "real" lawyer these days.
