Washington's Supreme Court Approves Three Ways To Skip The Bar Exam - Updated

March 20, 2024

The ABA Journal and Above the Law are reporting that the Washington Supreme Court has adopted alternative pathways to a law license, becoming the second state to do so in a little more than four months. The court approved three ways to bypass a bar exam, with different standards for law school graduates, law students and law clerks participating in a lawyer-tutoring program already in existence. All involve apprenticeships or internships.

You can read the different standards in the court's press release here.  The ABA Journal has more details here.  Above the Law has the story here.

UPDATE (April 13, 2024): Lex Blog has published a comment on the story here.
