No, you just have to pass the bar. I think most states allow this. Usually you have to study the law under the guidance of a judge or something. Of course, I can’t imagine who would hire an attorney that didn’t go to law school…

The requirements for the practice of law are set by the states. In most states you must have a law degree in order to take the bar exam. A few states will allow you to take the exam if you have practical experience in the field of law.
