Can working as a legal assistant constitute as 'studying in a law office or judges chamber'? I'm wondering in terms of taking the bar exam sans JD.

Answer 1

You would need to consult the specific rules of your jurisdiction. Most states don't allow this at all, and the ones that do probably have pretty specific requirements. Please keep in mind that the statistics show that the examinees who go this route instead of the law school route tend to have very low bar pass rates.
