Law school graduates who fall just short of passing Arizona's bar exam will soon have the option to become licensed attorneys after spending two years working under the supervision of an experienced lawyer in a rural area or a government or non-profit law setting.
The Supreme Court of Arizona established the Arizona Lawyer Apprentice Program to increase the number of lawyers in 'legal deserts' and support recruitment and retention of attorneys in various legal roles.
The program allows graduates who scored between 260 and 269 on the Uniform Bar Exam to gain licensing by working under supervision in specific settings, providing aid to underrepresented populations in need of legal services.
Arizona's initiative aims to help aspiring attorneys near the passing score gain practical experience and contribute to public service, emphasizing the importance of preparedness and commitment to the legal profession.
