Yes, some states allow this. California, Maine, NY, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wyoming have all offered some options for bypassing a formal education, however, the ABA is pushing for all states to require law school so this may not be the case anymore. Contacting the state's bar association is the best way to find out if sitting for the bar without law school is allowed.

This depends on the Jurisdiction you are in. In some places you technically only have to be "Called to the bar."

In the US, almost all states require you to pass the bar exam. And most of the states require you to have a law degree from an accredited law school in order to qualify to take the exam.

There are a few states that will let you take the exam if you have worked under the direction of a licensed attorney for a period of time, usually at least 5 years.
