A confused Jose “Chille” DeCastro went live with a “Friday Night Live” stream late Saturday night, blaming his confusion on the fact that he has been studying for the California bar exam, reviving his attempt to be a licensed lawyer.
In the past, DeCastro had relied on his self-given title as “Constitutional Law Scholar” in order to bring some prestige to his status as he deals with police and members of the public. His previous attempts to earn his bar card, or eligibility to take the test in California, have been put aside as he has become too distracted by lawsuits and other events in his life to focus on the bar.
DeCastro claimed on his Saturday broadcast that he intended apply to the State Bar of California to take the bar exam to become a lawyer. As an applicant, DeCastro would then have to show proof of his legal education, which consists of satisfying at least one of the following requirements:
* Three or four years of study at a law school accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA)
* Four years of study at a State Bar-registered, fixed-facility law school
* Four years of study with a minimum of 864 hours of preparation at a registered unaccredited distance-learning or correspondence law school
* Four years of study under the supervision of a state judge or attorney
* A combination of these programs
The YouTuber would also have to pass an examination of his moral character in order to be admitted to practice law.
The State Bar of California currently defines the process as:
State Bar staff review the application and contact the applicant if it is incomplete or further information is otherwise required. Complete applications are reviewed to determine if the applicants have the requisite good moral character for admission. “Good moral character” includes but is not limited to qualities of honesty, fairness, candor, trustworthiness, observance of fiduciary responsibility, respect for and obedience to the law, and respect for the rights of others and the judicial process.
It is unclear whether or not DeCastro’s YouTube videos may be taken into account to challenge his moral standing as DeCastro has a history of anti-police statements, a history of stating that he masturbates when police die and has put out multiple calls for armed rebellion in the United States to its people from tyrannical laws.
DeCastro’s planned attempt at the bar comes at a time where the YouTuber has been focused on providing the funding for lawyers to people involved in YouTube videos that he reviews on his daily infomercials. On more than one occasion, he has promised that he would write a version of a lawsuit for potential clients using ChatGPT even though he is not a licensed attorney.
The YouTuber was accused of acting as Floyd Wallace’s legal representative in 2023 after allegedly providing Wallace with filings to use in his lawsuit against the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Force that were nearly identical to the same filings DeCastro made in his own lawsuit against the police organization.
Wallace later dropped his lawsuit after questions arose about DeCastro’s involvement in the lawsuit and Wallace tried and failed to find pro bono legal representation.
It is unclear when DeCastro will attempt to take the bar exam, but he claimed to be spending every spare hour in the day studying for the exam until he is able to pass the test and become a licensed attorney.

Hey Jim…came by & i really enjoy ur sight. Thanx for exposing the truth about the leaping sawed off gnome!
Does the tool have even a days education from a credible institution let alone an actual degree?
Nope. He is self-studying. Not sure how he’s going to get around the requirements.
