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.

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.

[Right Wing Vegan]

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

[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?

" . . . 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.

[Wilderness Conservative]

This will give the out of work Uber drivers options.

[Hattie]

Doctors and nurses next.

“”...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.

Frito Pendejo is happy about this. And he likes money.

This is only and expressly to license those who can’t pass their bar exam.

[Night Hides Not]

The CPA exam has been watered down over the years, too. Used to be it was given twice a year, in May and November. Now, I think it can be taken nearly every month.

Took me 3 times to pass it, but that was according to plan. Knocked out Theory and Practice the first time, second time was the following May, right after tax season. Passed the last two in November.

Essay questions got me over the hump. I had the same professor for 30+ hours, his tests were all essay.

There will be three experiential-learning alternatives to the bar exam, each for people following a different path of legal study. The specifics, scale and implementation plan for the pathways have yet to be developed.

Create three experiential-learning alternatives to the bar exam, one for law-school graduates, one for law-school students, and one for APR 6 law clerks (who are enrolled in a non-law school course of study).

For graduates, this would entail a six-month apprenticeship under the guidance and supervision of a qualified attorney; during that time, the graduates would be required to complete three courses of standardized coursework.

For law students, the experiential pathway would allow them to graduate practice-ready by completing 12 qualifying skills credits and 500 hours of work as a licensed legal intern; they would be required to submit a portfolio of this work to waive the bar exam.

For law clerks (enrolled in a non-law school course of study), creation of additional standardized educational materials and benchmarks to be completed under the guidance of their tutors that dovetail with the requirements of the law school graduate apprenticeship, and 500 hours of work as a licensed legal intern to be eligible to waive the bar exam.

Who is in charge is more important than the methods. Leadership is key, will we have proper leadership? Place your bets....................

[TexasFreeper2009]

not enough blacks can pass the bar exam, so the lefts answer is simply to get rid of the exam!
