A take on minimal standards for law school "success." I disagree with the assertions. If trained monkeys can pass the bar, why is that at all relevant to a law school's success? It would be better if Harvard grads. regularly failed. Then there would be general agreement the bar is an inane metric. Ask Moose, whose secretary is a more effective lawyer than I am.
The world should be thisly: like mental health counselors who pass some test and are able to put you on a couch, the minimum criteria for practicing law should be passing the bar. But anybody smart enough can do it. Then, law school provides you a credential that NOT everybody has. So in competition with the world of hack lawyers out there, we all call ourselves "UCLaw1998, J.D." And we command a premium for that credential just like psychologists or psychiatrists command a premium over "counselors."

This post reminded me why our tax code is so confusing. Tax lawyers can't simply say "bar passage is the only thing that equally measures everyone". Everything else in Max's post was confusing, which is probably why I failed the bar exam.
If you have the resume for Geta Gaduate, please pass it on. She will do well in NC.
