@CheddarcheeseMN,

And who would want to hire such an attorney?

No law firm. Hence solo. Many local ethnic clients can’t distinguish with Pacific Hawaii law school and some ABA schools.
@soxmom,

Even if you’re not suggesting she’d actually do that, why on earth would you even have bothered to figure all that out?

Before her Ceramics classmates who are adult professionals in medicine and business, as well as her art history professor convinced her to look into BS, she had long been adamant on becoming a professional artist who doesn’t teach, sell originals or take commercial projects. Part-time solo practice for bankruptcy, dui or immigration for local ethnic market was one way of supporting herself with minimal non-art side job hours for life. It was a very practical option due to our personal and family connections, as well as her ethnicity and bilingual ability.
We also looked into studying figure sculpting at a European atelier, but making portraits too felt like taking commercial projects for her.

just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

I agree very much. It is a discarded option for now. She can probably goto a decent law school with heavy scholarship since she has great UG GPA and is naturally good with LSAT questions. That’s a better way if she later decides to become a lawyer. At the moment she is looking into other paths though.
