Answer 2

To be a lawyer in the USA, a person must obtain a Juris Doctorate degree and then pass a test called a "bar exam". The bar exam is a 2-3 day test, depending on the state in which it is given.

Lawyers in the USA are not supposed to "specialize," but we/they all do tend to focus in one particular area of the law. A "divorce lawyer" (family law), for example, may not know much (if anything) about criminal defense work, and vice versa. However, regardless of the type of law that is practiced by a lawyer, we all have to obtain a Juris Doctorate and pass a bar exam.

Once a lawyer begins practicing law, s/he is required to obtain a certain number of hours of "Continuing Legal Education" (CLE) each year in order to keep his/her license in good standing. Those CLE courses are usually on topics of interest to the lawyer. So, a family lawyer will attend courses about family law, and a criminal lawyer will attend classes about criminal law, and so on. In that way, s/he learns more about the area of law of interest to him/her, above and beyond what s/he learned in law school.
