It seems like a sort of cool, old-timey bootstrap story - like I picture a young Atticus Finch studying law books in his bedroom or something. šŸ˜‚

Iā€™m sure thatā€™s not really what itā€™s like, though. Does everyone who follows this path have a lot of experience in a relevant job?

I actually know someone who had my job (California Workersā€™ Comp Adjuster) who is in the process of doing the same thing with a firm. Thereā€™s a specific senior attorney who is ā€œsponsoringā€ her. I assume her goal is to eventually practice as a Workersā€™ Comp defense attorney at the firm where sheā€™s studying.

But I always wondered if a random person, like someone fresh out of college with a pre-law degree, could do it (I assume Kim K is a unique situation šŸ˜‚). I know Law School can mean lots of debt, so it seems like it could be smart if they can swing it.
