The Bar exam is not a requirement for graduation from a Juris Doctorate program at any law school. Thousands of people attend and graduate from ABA accredited J.D. programs every year with no intention of taking the Bar and practicing as attorneys. Even more people yearly attend law school via distance learning and correspondence. The latter consists almost entirely of non-proctored, open-book exams. These programs, while not ABA accredited, satisfy the California State Bar's eligibility requirements to sit the Bar exam. Once someone passes the California Bar Exam, regardless of the "type" of law school they attended, most states will allow graduates to sit their Bar's exam with few, if any additional requirements.

This brings up another valid point.

Currently, California and Vermont do not require an undergraduate degree or even law school in order to sit their respective Bar exams. The California State Bar allows students with 60 undergraduate credits from any RA institution to enroll in brick & mortar law schools as well as distance learning and correspondence schools. The Bar also provides a "Special Applicants" route for fulfilling pre-legal education. Anybody 18 or older who takes the English Composition CLEP, followed by 12 more CLEP credits has satisfied the Bar's requirements to attend law school.
Furthermore, these two states' "Law Office Study" program states that Students may "apprentice" under a judge or attorney for 4 years and then sit the California or Vermont Bar exams without ever setting foot in a law school.

Just goes to show how the college degree is becoming what the high school diploma/GED became a long time ago. As essential as a HS diploma is, only rarely does it matter just HOW you got it, as long as it is accredited and recognized. An undergraduate degree, in my observation, is no longer seen necessarily as an "apex" degree, but rather another essential step towards society's ever changing academic expectations.

So you had no problem taking advantage of these non-proctored exams for your own personal benefit yet you want to cry foul now? Okay.

Plenty of B&M schools that offer online college degrees do non-proctored lower level courses like you'd take at Straighterline. You can cheat those just like you can cheat an exam you have to show up for physically and take on campus. And I haven't even mentioned the open book exams/finals I took while attending a B&M university.
