HIGHER BAR ADMISSION STANDARDS
Higher standards are being adopted from time to time as a result of the activities of the American Bar Association for higher bar admission requirements. At the present time eighteen States have no requirements, fifteen require a certain amount of general education before beginning the study of Law, and thirteen require High School education as a preliminary.
The more advanced requirements are represented by the following: One year of College in Colorado and Illinois; two years of College in Kansas, Illinois (after July 1926), and West Virginia.
Five States accept six months of training in a law office as a preliminary to admission, and Louisiana requires registration in addition.
Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Washington have fixed the requirements for study in a law office at four years, in addition to which Ohio requires the filing of an affidavit showing two hundred hours of actual instruction each year.
