    You can also do apprenticeship with a judge but again it would be rare because of the difficulty of
    finding a judge who would take the time to tutor you. I suspect apprenticeship qualification would be
    mostly legal secretaries who have worked many years at a law office or para legal who also has many
    years of experience before applying for the apprenticeship.

    Since states generally have to approve the apprenticeship plan before hand, I doubt they would approve
    mom or dad as a tutor/mentor.
