It's just not—

It's not just some test that lawyers have to take to get licensed, which on its face sounds great because like with any professional licensing that protects the public from incompetent lawyers, they have to show that they understand the minimum standard of how to practice law.

That will prevent them from being such a dipstick that their clients are going to get electrocuted because they represented them so poorly.

It's way, way more intricate than that.

Yeah.

Socially speaking, culturally speaking, socioculturally speaking.

Yeah.

Because you don't want to end up with the Lionel Hutts, right?

No.

He almost certainly did not pass the bar.

Well, we'll get to it, but you don't necessarily have to pass the bar in every state in the United States to practice law.

But sit on it, everybody, because that's coming.

I guess we should go back in time and talk about a little bit of the history, because if you go back to colonial days, pre-states in the United States, or not in the United States, but, you know, what will one day be the United States?

Exactly.

There were no bar exams because there were no law schools.

If you wanted to work as a lawyer, you would apprentice or clerk for a practicing lawyer for, you know, sometimes you would just do it and donate your time to working for them.

Sometimes you would do that and actually pay them.

Which, you know, it seems like a pretty good system.

And we'll talk more about apprenticing later because for my money, I think that's a pretty good way to do things.
