Can a 18 year old be a lawyer?

Answer 1

Attorneys practicing law in the U.S. must have taken a bar examination. Most bar associations require that a person must have a professional doctorate degree in law from an approved law school before being allowed to take the bar examination. Bars that don't require a degree require extensive apprenticeship under a practicing attorney or judge.

There is no actual age restrictions on the bar examination, meaning that an 18 year old could technically be a lawyer, however, with the extensive knowledge and training required, it is very unlikely that anyone that young would be qualified for a bar examination.
