Can someone take the bar exam without going to law school? If so, are they more or less likely to be hired into a firm?
I think I can do it and I have personal motivation to do it. I just don't want to put in the effort if I'll be fucked on some technicality.

yes, you can take the bar exam without going to law school, only in a few states though:
>Washington
>Vermont
>California
>Virginia
they each have different requirements before you can finally be a lawyer, but all of them will require you to get an apprenticeship and work for at least 3-4 years under a mentor. finding a mentor willing to accept you is already challenging, especially so if you aren't even studying at a law school
plus if you go this route, you are expected to have a 1/3 of the pass rate of those who attend law school (like 27% vs 81%)
you won't be allowed to practice in other states even if you do pass

some firms only hire from certain schools, others dont care so long as youre competent. really just depends on the firm. you can always do a solo practice, too

I'm not from that country, but isn't this how it works anyway? I've always seen ads for lawyers and they say that they can practice in X, Y and Z states only. What's up with that?

yea, each state has their own set of laws and therefore their own licensing agency and protocols. people that can practice in multiple states went out of their way to get licensed in a second or third state. typically they are based in cities on the border of states

Can you open your own law firm, hire a lawyer to work for you, and as his boss, order him to take you as an apprentice?

I actually know a guy who did this for a different occupation that requires an apprenticeship, but I'm wondering if this can be done with lawyering.

i really don't know
pretty sure they do a extreme background check for your "good moral character" before handing you the license
