Here’s what’s going to happen. People will visit the prospective lawyer and see he/she/it is not white. They’ll leave. So, any legitimate non-white lawyers will be hurt.

Not good news when we are watching the Fani Willis Get Trump reality show and seeing what kind of morons are already making it over the bar.
We need to set a higher bar for lawyers, not eliminate it.

Why require law school? Which law school did Abraham Lincoln attend?
Professional licensing is just a scam to raise prices under the pretense that it protects the public.

I knew a lawyer Got his degree through a correspondence course. Passed the BAR. This test seems kinda stupid knowing they have to give up 3 months or more of their life to prepare. How does that make them a better lawyer?
It’s like those MD’s who work 24 hour shifts in their residency. Is it to weed out the weak ones?
Me thinks they’re lowering the standards due to DEI pressures.

And with that the one holdout elite profession not yet taken over by foreigners begins to topple.

Bar examust be tough. Hillary Clinton flunked it at first try. And she is the smartest woman in America according to Democrats.

" . . . the traditional test . . . is at best minimally effective” for ensuring competency . . . "
The Washington State Supreme Court is proof of that. They are biased and stupid, a bad combination.

Wisconsin has had Diploma Privilege for law school graduates for quite some time.

“”...new attorneys who are so desperately needed around the state.”
I was unaware that there was a lawyer shortage. I was always under the impression that there are too many of them.
