Members on the leftist state Supreme Court in Washington have ruled that the bar exam for prospective lawyers is racist, so candidates can do something else to qualify, like do an apprenticeship or an internship.

Fox News said the court decided the traditional test "disproportionately and unnecessarily blocks marginalized groups from entering the practice of law."

Further, they said, it is "at best minimally effective for ensuring competent lawyers."

If objective bar exams are "minimally effective for ensuring competent lawyers," how much less effective would any other less robust screening method be?

This is insanity on steroids.

Because coloreds are smart enough to pass the examine. Just say it

[Gene Eric]

All part of the tyrannical plan to paralyze constitutional liberties.

Dunno, but based on what I see from lawyers, lawyers who become judges, and lawyers who become members of Congress - the bar exam seems to work in reverse...allowing the stupidest and least impressive people in.

Aren’t smart enough to pass they have to dumb it down for diversity no matter the incompetence just like libtard government

It’s intended to get more blacks in. I suppose the idea is to help blacks by unleashing a horde of incompetent lawyers upon them. But of course it will also open the door to incompetents of all races.

Let’s call it the, “Fani Willis Participation Trophy Exam”

I’m stunned someone thinks we need more lawyers

[ProtectOurFreedom]

If we keep bending and bowing to "marginalized groups" and putting incompetent, poorly educated, poorly trained people in critical professions, we are going to wind up back here in a couple of decades. Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you, because all cultures are equal.

They’re just waiting to say “Two utes” in court.

[frank ballenger]

True. Lawyers and judges and members of Congress are a sorry lot.

Not all in Congress passed the bar first.

Nancy Pelosi never passed a bar in her life.🍷🍷🍾🍹🍸🍹

Further, they said, it is "at best minimally effective for ensuring competent lawyers."

Well then, so is law school.

Likewise, it's apparent that World Net Daily is allowing random people to write their headlines without getting passing grades in journalism school.

As long as the new lawyers aren’t required to write briefs in cursive, they should be OK.

[LeoTDB69]

“Idiocracy” becomes more accurate by the day

[Recompennation]

competent lawyers
That’s the oxymoron of the year.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Just hope you are not on trial for manslaughter or murder and get one of these DEI (pronounced DIE) lawyers.

[Gay State Conservative]

Next: No exams for doctors either.

[Freeper]

I hereby declare I am an accomplished lawyer from Washington State.

More states to be determined automatically
when available even if I don’t know I am.
