17-Year-Old Teenager Becomes California's Youngest Practicing Attorney

Peter Park, at the age of 17, became the youngest person to pass California's challenging bar exam. Now 18, he has been sworn in as a practicing attorney. Park's legal journey began at 13 when he enrolled in law school while still in high school. He passed the bar exam on his first attempt, beating the previous record held by an 18-year-old. Park aspires to become a prosecutor and hopes his achievement will inspire others to consider alternative paths to becoming an attorney.
