I am concerned about the mandated training times. One of the things Law School does best is acclimate you to the workload you will experience in the profession. I would amend the training time to at least 40 hours a week.
Furthermore, I'm unsure that having the student take a first-year law exam(s?) would be conductive. Either the student will be taking significantly less examinations (one instead of three to five as seems standard), or they will be taking exams they will probably lack the means to pass given that an apprenticeship would be in a specialized field. I might be more amenable to this program if it mandated one have multiple mentors over the four year period.
I also don't know why the mentor needs payment. If the prospective lawyer is getting paid at market compensation, the mentor can just garnish wages. If they aren't getting paid, then it would stand to reason the free labor should be an incentive in and of itself.
