So, one crooked POSh** sponsors another? Oregon. Imagine my surprise.

I predict a massive influx of crappy law students flooding Oregon to obtain their law license.

Presently, the easiest bar exam to pass is D.C.'s. That results in the U.S. government hiring a lot of bad lawyers.

This way they be as dump as public school teachers

After forty years practicing law, and much of it trial work, I agree that the British system of solicitors and barristers is better than ours. As for the bar exam, it is like a world of its own. Most people take it once, pass, and never look back, as I did. It prepares you for nothing. However, I knew several people who took it five, six, or even seven times before passing, and although they eventually had successful practices, I thought they were good self-promoters, but I never thought that they were good lawyers.

Conservative students will still have to pass the bar exam.

That's a good thing conservative students don't want the standards lowered. Every company will know who are the attorneys they want to hire. The OJT students will be relegated to the unimportant dog duties the real attorneys don't want to bother with.

The bar association is a private organization.
The government has no say in what they do or how they do it.
And the bar is run by leftists.

No wonder half the state wants to secede from that armpit.

The Bard of Avon was so often ahead of his time, but never more than this:

“The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.”
