One should not have to go to law school or be licensed by the bar to be a lawyer. It is corruption that created this barrier of entry.

We agree, but those who are convinced that “we have too many lawyers” couldn’t possibly want MORE, which eliminating barriers would do.

I don't think it's that simple. You have to pass the bar exams to represent clients in court. Not sure to what extent you can otherwise represent yourself as a lawyer.

Zap,

There are non-Bar law programs/degrees so someone must be taking them. Do you know of such people? Do they find work in legal research or some such?
