The Washington State Supreme Court has ruled that the bar exam is no longer a requirement for prospective lawyers. On Friday, The Bar Licensure Task Force explained that the bar is “minimally effective for ensuring competency” and “disproportionally and un...
what a nice way of saying "they are too dumb"
Some of the most racist Mfs out there. Whats worse? A KKK member that will just try his best to keep their distance from you or a modern leftist that knows most are too dumb but will invite you over and smile through their teeth because your existence makes them feel better about themselves?
That they claim is does nothing to ensure competence (because it's too easy?) and that it's unfair to minorities because they can't pass it sure is telling
There should be no requirements at all for practicing law. You shouldn't have to pay a "university" 160,000 dollars and then a partner shop 4 years of your life before you can practice law. That's just to artificially keep down supply so they can bill you $500 an hour for their terrible legal advice and abominable legal work.
That said, the motivation is pants off retarded.
Yeah, the outcome isn't actually awful but the motivation for it is gay commie bullshit.
In fact, it might make being a member of the bar association more valuable, because if they actually did their fucking jobs, it would give people peace of mind that they're hiring someone competent. If incompetent can just completely skip the bar process, it doesn't make sense for the bar association to continually lower their standards.
But who am I kidding? We all know that in clown world, they'll just remove all standards so they can collect more membership dues.
It's a chicken and egg problem.
Yeah - you shouldn't need a requirement to pass law and the founding fathers wanted it that way as well with laws being written so that even the most common man could understand them.
But we don't write laws on one page of paper now (let alone a constitution) they take up tens of thousands of pages with contradictory gotchas and hidden agendas.
The point of passing the bar is similarly the same point to being a tax preparer (albeit more complex) - that you show competency and understanding of parsing laws as written and court procedures.
Otherwise you have laymen thinking they can practice law because they saw a few episodes of CSI! Or not even high school educated people representing themselves in a murder case and putting forth the argument that dey be innocent because dey be innocent and she was a whore anyway and her shit was all fucked up! blah blah blah!
Pro tip, you don't actually need law school.
Passing the bar is a different thing, and can be done without law school
GROUN'S!
Shiieet, lookat all dese raysis crackas up in hurr. All dis be doin be rekonysin dat Blak pipl b knowin da lawz an b unfairly prosaymacutted an shiieet. Now a brotha can be he own law yuh and be called Esquire by a cracka, shiieet.
I actually don't know if this is bad or a bit of an own goal for them as I've heard from some how the Bar restricts access to law and I don't mean meritocraticly.
It's like the BBB or the ADA, you pay for access.
Yeah that's why I can't really tell how this'll play out. It might end up being something that screws them over because they removed a barrier to a privileged class THEY mostly benefit from as proud users of lawfare.
they won't have to win any cases. they are the protected class, therefore any of their arguments are correct. the courts will simply become a battlefield of feelings or morality rather than a battlefield of law or justice.
Who do you think become judges?
They're right. All you have to do is explain that your client is <insert Oppressed and Marginalized identity here>, and therefore cannot be held liable for their actions. No need to pass the bar, that's a winning argument in Washington state.
If they can't pass the bar then maybe they shouldn't be practicing law. Is that not the point of the bar exam? To filter out those who cannot be trusted to practice law?
Looks like malpractice insurance premiums are about to go up dramatically.
This will be fun to watch. It will also backfire in a new way as there are a lot of people that will lawyer it to mean what they want. For example, my dad is Argentine. This makes me Hispanic. The German guy who had to study Spanish in school is now a lawyer.
Ketanji Jackson proves their point
I'd say good luck with your justice system but that went long ago.
They did the right thing for the wrong reasons. The idea of professional licensure makes sense, if you assume the state sets the right standards and enforces them correctly, but it totally falls apart when they delegate their authority to private trade organizations. That's really nothing more than the medieval guild system in modern times.
Go ahead and say it...
Black peoples iz too stupids to pass tests so it's not a requirement no mos.
But no.. .that's NOT racist at all!
