Bad Alias:
I guess you could bribe someone to certify a course taught by some guy, but that seems like more effort than taking 15 1 hour courses electronically all at once. There is no way that hiring a tutor is more efficient in any way.

Jim did not say where Mab got her title. She could have done in another country with different laws. I don't think my country has such specific requirements. Mab, as the other said, could have many legitimate identities, and she just needs to take the exam or exams to be licensed, which would be piece of cake for her.
Alternatively, go with the online thing. Mab logs in with her username and data and then some human lawyer do the things. Then she is certified. Pretty sure nobody is going to ask her "have you done so and so?". They would only require her to show the certicate, and she will have it.

I mean, that's what I thought about her being a Lawyer in the first place, yet here we are.

Nope (mostly).

But the point isn't about becoming a lawyer, it's about being, or maintaining status as, a lawyer.
I mean, she could be a lawyer some country that has little or no requirements for becoming and being a lawyer, but I doubt she would find that terribly useful. Then again, I don't see her being a lawyer in any American jurisdiction to terribly useful. She could represent herself in any court without being a lawyer. Additionally, representing herself would most likely be a waste of time.
We saw in Jury Duty that both Marcone and the White Court approached the justice system through illegitimate means. Marcone did jury (selection) tampering. (The White Court really should have just struck Harry with one of their peremptory strikes). The White Court did witness tampering (and controlling the prosecutor). Why spend all that time in court when you can just spend a little time going around the system?
Dina:
But that is precisely what I mean, that Jim has not said that Mab is a lawyer in USA. That is why I mentioned that I don't think my country has any requirement to mantain the status. Once you got your license, you are a lawyer for ever (or at least I believe so. Dad was a lawyer and I don't remember him talking any mandatory classes)
