The
traditional
route
to
becoming
a
lawyer
in
the
United
States
is
to
spend
three
years
and
tens
(or
hundreds)
of
thousands
of
dollars
on
a
law
school
education,
and
then
spend
another
two
months
and
another
few
thousand
dollars
preparing
for
the
bar
exam.
If
you
think
there
has
to
be
a
better
way,
you’re
not
alone.
Earlier
this
year,
the
ABA
endorsed
alternative
pathways
to
attorney
licensing
beyond
the
traditional
bar
exam,
as
a
growing
number
of
states
establish
other
methods
that
focus
more
on
experiential
learning.
