This is the best summary I could come up with:
Nov 7 (Reuters) - Law graduates will be able to become licensed in Oregon without taking the bar exam, starting in May 2024.
The Oregon Supreme Court on Tuesday approved an alternative licensing program that bar exam reformers hope will spur further innovation in other states.
The Oregon State Board of Bar Examiners, which developed the program, also plans to create a second alternative licensing pathway in which students at the state’s three law schools would spend their last two years of law school completing practice-based course work.
In addition to completing 675 hours of paid legal work, participants in Oregon’s new program must submit at least eight examples of legal writing, take the lead in at least two initial client interviews or client counseling sessions, and head up two negotiations, among other requirements.
Candidates may apply 100 hours of supervised legal work performed in law school clinics or internships toward the 675-hour requirement.
