The attorney in whose office or the judge with whom the applicant intends to study shall be approved by the Board, which shall prescribe reasonable
conditions as to the course of study. (Code 1950, ยง 54-62; 1952, c. 553;
1960, c. 379; 1980, c. 533; 1988, c. 765; 1995, c. 336; 1998, cc. 119, 796.)

So, it can be done, but requires Board approval. And, as you point out, employment opportunity would likely be diminished by not going the law school route.

Another item worth noting regards passing the Bar. Some (most? all?) states allow lawyers to do many things, but not represent a client in court, even though they have not passed the bar. As people may call themselves a psychologist upon taking a degree, people may call themselves a lawyer upon taking a degree in law or, perhaps, reading the law under lawyerly supervision.
