Go read a legal textbook - as opposed to legislation or a contract.
They're really quite easy to understand in contrast to computer science or physics texts. I read them for fun.
Judicial opinions are commonly easy to read, especially supreme court opinions.
My point is that maybe it's not so hard to pass the bar.
- def_illiterate 11y agoIt's really not. People used to pass the bar without ever going to a law school. The entire profession has been captured by educational institutions. It's a posterchild for what tech should not allow itself to become.
- cafard 11y agoIt is still possible, here and there to "read law" to qualify oneself to take the bar examination. It is definitely rare these days.
- MichaelCrawford 11y agoCaryl Chessman - The Birdman - passed the bar after reading the law in Alcatraz. I've met some attorneys that I don't regard as being very bright. I don't think that's ever been the case for anyone I've ever met with a graduate physics degree.
