"While people always have been able to study law under another attorney, then become licensed themselves by taking the bar exam, this new pathway creates standardized education materials and removes the examination requirement."
So no LSAT/law school, no bar is a potential pathway to practice law. Wow.

- jltsiren 3y agoDepends on what you mean by modern notions. Western tradition of formal legal education has its roots in ancient Rome. It was less prevalent in England than on the continent until the revival in the 19th century, probably because there was less Roman influence in the culture in general.
