I know of two different high school teachers who got law degrees later in life after their bachelor's degrees, they got a JD. Don't know for sure, but if I had to guess I'm pretty sure neither of them even took the bar. They each taught government and history at high school. The high school offered a couple of elective courses in intro to law and that sort of thing and they taught those as well. I think having that law degree just gave the knowledge and skills to teach that particular course, maybe a pay raise. One of the teachers, figured if they were teaching kids about law every day they wanted to be well-informed so thats why he got his law degree. They got law degrees and continued teaching careers and never took a career in law.
