More Bidens running around. Just great.

California judges are not really expected to know the law any way, just rely on their personal feelings so long as they agree with the left-wing agenda.

Traditional grammatically correct English is racist. Get rid of it.
Traditional math is colonialism and racist. Get rid of it.
The bar exam is racist and needs to lower standards so minorities can pass.
SATs are no longer required because minorities can't pass it because it's racist. Get rid of it.

I'm sure everyone is seeing the pattern here.

I have a neighbor who is a lawyer and CPA. When I asked which exam was more difficult, he replied that the CPA exam was much more difficult.

Why not? They already make a mockery of the law.

Someone needs to clarify that that much higher percentage of ‘people of color’ includes the over 11 MILLION ILLEGAL INVADERS who are in California.

Lawyers were stupid before this change.

Now, there will be a clear documented point for the plunge into really stupid.

"There is absolutely no evidence that shows having a higher score makes for better lawyers," said UCLA School of Law Dean Jennifer L. Mnookin, a longtime supporter of lowering the passing score. "There is significant evidence that it reduces the diversity of the bar."

So then why have a test at all?
Also, she is claiming that minorities can't perform at the same level as white people - an outright racist remark.

Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer may agree with the new standards. For the old Bar Exam could be extremely confounding.

Diversity a higher priority than competence.

In the private sector, competency will still matter. Law firms will have to figure it out, and they will. Erosion of standards on the bar exam will compromise one useful screening tool, but the weak performers will still be weeded out in interviews and as associates. Government is a different matter. Government will treat a law degree as a law degree, regardless of the granting instutition and the academic standing of the student. California’s action is a way of smoothing affirmative action hiring of subpar attorneys into state government, where weak performers will be tenured.

I worked for a "diverse" California lawyer who passed the bar after four attempts. His skills were amply suspect to a newly certified attorney and were further questioned by some of his clients.

When the State Bar started to send investigators to his office, he closed his Attorney-Client trust fund by withdrawing the remaining funds and skipped town. He was later suspected to be living in the Caribbean.

I always thought that the high level of achievement applicable to passing the California State Bar was appropriate.

I think that flight exams are much to strict. We need to make it much easier to be a pilot. It’s worth it if it means more diversity.

“lower the passing score for the exam, a victory for law school deans who have long hoped the change would raise the number of Black and Latino people practicing law.”

Isn’t this an admission of the mental inferiority of blacks and “Latinos” vs whites and Asians?

Captain Obvious says that half the lawyers in this country graduated in the bottom half of their class.

[catnipman]

“agreed to lower the passing score for the exam, a victory for law school deans who have long hoped the change would raise the number of Black and Latino people practicing law. “

another blow to smart, legitimate black and hispanic lawyers as now one must automatically assume that ALL black and hispanic lawyers are second rate until proven otherwise ...

Since Kali let illegal aliens as lawyers, they had to.
