I know this is off-topic but I know nothing about what it takes to be a lawyer. I have always been interested though. You go to school and then you need to pass the bar and then you can practice law in a certian area.

So my question is this: What if you don't go to school, but can pass the bar? Can you still practice law? If not, then what does the bar exam do that makes it so important to pass before you can practice law?
