    Question: Is it required you go to law school to be a lawyer or can you just pass the bar exam and get sworn in?

    If you are in California you can take the Bar Exam with no law school. You can also pass the Bar exam without a law school degree. I know because I DID JUST THAT! I am now a very successful injury attorney in Los Angeles.
