    I gave you my opinion, from my experience . If you’ve taken a bar and that’s your opinion, fine.

    The primary barrier to entry into the legal profession is law school, not the licensing exam.

    4 months of legal apprenticeship with a side gig isn’t bad. However, I would imagine that most applicants will be doing 4 months of paid clerkship with enough extra unpaid hours to meet the bar’s criteria.

      I would think 4 months would also help your resume. But then again, not sure if not having the bar exam could hurt your resume? Curious your opinion.
