There are going to allow the 33% of Law School students that can't pass a bar exam to become an attorney at law. The dumbing down of America continues at a fast pace.

Well here in New York you can become Attorney general just by saying you are going to prosecute Trump just because he’s Trump, no need for any crime or evidence of a crime, you can be blatantly bias and even be assigned as the judge.

[Yo-Yo]

How about passing the Bar exam without going to law school?

[Midwesterner53]

Standards? We don’t need no stinking standards!!

[FatherofFive]

Become an engineer by playing with an erector set. A MD by riding in an EMS vehicle. There is a reason folks display their Diplomas on the wall.

Hey, anything that contributes to increasing the number of lawyers in this country is fine by me....

(yeah, in case you had any questions, I am being sarcastic.)

[DesertRhino]

Reading for the law used to be a very accepted practice. But if it’s coming from Oregon, it’ll be done wrong, and for the wrong reasons. The bar is actually a cartel.

[TexasFreeper2009]

just another example of lowering the standards to increase number of blacks

[JonPreston]

Always hire a lawyer with gray hair, not pink.

[Fido969]

The “hundreds of hours of work” accepted won't be with the Federalist Society, I can tell you that.

[Alas Babylon!]

Worse yet, I guarantee anyone so applying and approved will be from politically correct and Leftist law firms. Conservative students will still have to pass the bar exam.

The dumbing down of America continues at a fast pace.

I'm not so sure in this case. D.C. is full of lawyers turned professional politicians, all of whom passed the bar examine. Once they became insiders they became corrupt and have created an epic disaster in every direction in this country.

[con-surf-ative]

And we need more lawyers, why?????

I guess there aren’t enough annoying TV commercials and billboards yet. I’m sure the motivator is to bring more DEI into the legal profession.

[Stravinsky]

Don’t be fooled. There are other states that allow apprenticeships instead of law school, but the bar exam is still required. That is reasonable. This is just about admitting more unqualified folks.

[Jim W N]

become lawyers through apprenticeships, not bar exam

It's what they did in the 1800's. Not bad results. Of course the assumption was that basic education was a given. Not so these days thanks to the Left.

[MeganC]

Hmmm. They might also end this experiment if the attorneys who apprentice end up more successful than the people who get themselves properly indoctrinated in the Marxist law schools.

[Gaffer]

So they’re admitting minorities can’t pass a test?

[griffin]

My money is that Soros is funding this effort.

Law, when practiced by ignorance, is subjective and ale to be directed.

[Afterguard]

Abe Lincoln became a lawyer without a Bar exam.

Some of the best craftsmen never went to school for their craft

The worst journalists are typically graduates of Journalism schools

I’d hire a a lawyer with more personal experience than one fresh off the Bar exam, but he/she would have to have a long and successful resume’

Negro.

Oregon is now Ignoragon.
