Like we don’t have enough ambulance chasers already.
“”” a victory for law school deans who have long hoped the change would raise the number of Black and Latino people practicing law. “”””””””
Are they saying they are not as smart as the honkies who take the test?
Because the lawyers in California aren’t stupid enough already. They need more racist retards and Stalinazis.
Will Hillary! (Smartest Woman In The World!) FINALLY pass the bar?
*SNORT*
Now only if we can get the California Medical Board to be more compassionate and less racist and lower their exam standards!
dumber lawyers isn’t the solution to anything.
The “critics” are full of Obama.
California Universities must really be hurting.
What would those deans be saying if you could practice law just by passing the bar rather than handing them a boatload of tuition money? Used to be possible before the law became a cartel. I believe can still do in some states.
Is there anywhere standards being made more rigorous and difficult?
Yes, but they are saying in a really underhanded and chickensh*t way.
The bar exam is not a measure of ABILITY. It is a measure of KNOWLEDGE. If you lower the standard, you will, over time, have lawyers with less knowledge of the law.
Does this mean law schools have been packing their classes with “diversity” then they graduate people who can’t pass the bar exam?
Obviously then the problem lies with the exam, right?
California has the lowest scores because it has some of the worst law schools in the country. Georgia used to be in the same boat, but they finally raised the standards for theirlaw schools a few decades ago (closing two or 3, and eventually opening one new one.)
Mississippi had a different problem. For years, they had one accredited law school in the state and didn’t require graduates to take the state bar exam. When a second one opened, they started requiring all admittees to take the exam, and found that the pride and joy of the state’s legal community had a horrific pass rate. The whole system had to be re-vamped.
The once-Golden State continues to lower all its standards as it sinks deeper and deeper into decay.
More Bidens running around. Just great.
To your point, here are the education requirements for the state bar in California:
Most people go to law school before becoming an attorney, but it isnt the only way to get a legal education. Applicants can also study in a law office or with a judge. Here are all the options:
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
But not necessarily like you might think. I'd never hire a white guy that graduated from Southern (Louisiana) or Texas Southern. I have met competent Black attorneys from Southern.
“Fails to measure ability”.
Why do I think they’ll measure skin tone instead of test scored?
