Just mail in two box tops and you are a licensed lawyer....

[HYPOCRACY]

Maybe I should move there and become a lawyer.

[Gen.Blather]

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.

[rdcbn1]

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.

[devere]

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.

[DIRTYSECRET]

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.

[Right Wing Vegan]

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

[Salman]

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.

This is true. But the new policy will also open a door to White incompetents.

[mrmeyer]

Soft bigotry of low expectations in action.

[Tennessee Nana]

Do the states still require the bar exam ???

[butlerweave]

Just pop in and we’ll stamp the capital L on your forehead

[Macoozie]

That’s how it used to be.
I have no problem with this

[GreyFriar]

Why just not require them to get a liquor license?

[Scrambler Bob]

You won’t have to examine any bars any more.

[Bobbyvotes]

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

[Steve_Seattle]

" . . . 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.

[Fury]

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

[Wilderness Conservative]

This will give the out of work Uber drivers options.

[Hattie]

Doctors and nurses next.

[hanamizu]

“”...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.
