Because for the most part, bar associations are elitist clubs.  I have a
bunch of friends who are lawyers (I've mentioned before, it's a
generation Y thing to do), have you ever seen the admission process?
It's an anal probing of the highest order.

And they really have no governmental oversight; they can make up any
rules they feel are appropriate, e.g., requiring someone have a JD from
an accredited institution before being allowed to sit the Bar exams..
