Allow anyone with a master’s degree to sit for WV Bar exam and become licensed attorney

HB 3104 would allow any person holding a master's degree in any field of study to take the West Virginia bar exam and become a licensed attorney. Currently, the law requires specific legal education (like a law degree) for bar exam eligibility, but this bill replaces that requirement with a master's degree in any discipline. The change directly affects individuals with master's degrees in non-law fields who seek to practice law in West Virginia. The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals would need to update its admission rules to implement this new eligibility standard.
