California’s exam used to be considered somewhat difficult. But as with everything else, the Commies have lowered standards to harm the country. It’s all about the revolution.

A swearing in ceremony for new lawyers is what you call a massed target.

If you want more corrupt “Muller” style lawyers then you must lower the standards. And the law is not what determines guilt of innocence anymore.

I’m a CA lawyer. This is a sort of theft from those of us who played by the rules - the value of a CA Bar Card has just been diluted in order to ensure the inclusion of my lessers. Typical Democrat shite.

At least the competition from the other side won’t be as much of a problem in the future.

Idiots who hire idiots will end up losing big.

And the great dumbing down continues.
Can’t pass the Bar or a PRAXIS, etc., etc., etc.? No problemo, just lower the standards.

Can’t wait for the woke military to do the same for pilots, etc., etc., etc. Should be fun...............................

Since the Covid crisis has put a strain on all of the nurses and doctors, they need to do that and more for those attempting to get those licenses as well.

After all, what could go wrong?
