Rejoice, future California lawyers! The CA State Bar Board of Trustees just voted to scale back the state’s onerous three-day exam, said by some to be the hardest bar exam in the country, to a more comfortable two-day affair.

...

California was weighing a proposal to alter the test format to include one day of essays (5 one-hour essays and a 90-minute performance test) and one day of the MBE, with both days weighed equally. As noted in that post, this scales back the performance test from its previous 3-hour length

...

Meanwhile, every California lawyer should start working on their “in my day…” stories about how newly minted lawyers are soft. Those should keep everyone entertained for a few decades.

I certainly hope this doesn’t adversely affect those who are autistic, bipolar, or are living with ADD, ADHD, PTSD or schizo-affective disorder.

I don't think it takes into account the psychopaths who rip their papers up to start over.
Future political leaders.

"California Bar Exam Cut From Three Days To Two"

"Illegal Immigrant Allowed to Practice Law, California Court Rules"

A shorter test so that it's easier for illegal aliens to pass. Also offered in Spanish with extended test-taking time in the event that the budding lawyer has learning disabilities. We wouldn't want to discriminate in the courtroom now, would we?

You deliberately left out those with AIDS and some sort of sexual identity crisis!

My youngest brother passed the Calif. bar on his first time.

My homosexual nephew, far as I know (since I do not talk to my liberal sister) failed several times. Undoubtedly due to homophobia.

I wonder if that former mayor of Los Angeles, Henry Cisneros, will be able to finally pass?
