[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if it were possible, it would be short sighted re employment prospects. No big law and no one should be hiring a 22 y.o. sole practitioner to represent  them. [/quote]

What do you mean by ‘sole practitioner’? Does a person who completes the 7 years just jump in the deep end? I assumed they went into junior positions where they would be closely supervised. [/quote]

I think the person means that few law firms would take a kid who skipped undergrad, and the alternative would be hanging out a shingle but getting clients would be a challenge for a 22 year old. But maybe there are non profit roles or other roles.

Your best option is to go outside the US. In addition to the UK, Quebec used to have a direct option but I think it may have changed. Keep in mind however, that these shorter programs usually then require getting a job as a trainee. That would likely have to be done in the country where you got the degree in order to be qualified. So not sure it shortens the process that much.[/quote]
