To be fair, I'm pretty sure the rules don't apply to black women. Consider that even though they might graduate at the bottom of their class and require multiple attempts to pass the Bar exam, they will still benefit hugely from affirmative action in the job market and be handed top tier jobs they wouldn't remotely qualify for on paper.

Bear in mind the United States Vice President was one of these people:

Harris then returned to California to attend law school at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law through its Legal Education Opportunity Program (LEOP).[41] While at UC Hastings, she served as president of its chapter of the Black Law Students Association.[42] She graduated with a Juris Doctor in 1989[43] and was admitted to the California Bar in June 1990.

Typically a June admission date means you failed the 1st test, since the 1st test passers get admitted in November.

In 1990, Harris was hired as a deputy district attorney in Alameda County, California

FYI becoming a DA is INSANELY competitive if you are a white or asian male. You'd probably need to be top 5%. But for a "black" woman like Harris? Literally just show up and you're hired.

In 1994, Speaker of the California Assembly Willie Brown, who was then dating Harris, appointed her to the state Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and later to the California Medical Assistance Commission. In February 1998, San Francisco district attorney Terence Hallinan recruited Harris as an assistant district attorney.[48] There, she became the chief of the Career Criminal Division. In August 2000, Harris took a job at San Francisco City Hall. In 2002, Harris prepared to run for District Attorney of San Francisco. Harris was the least-known of the three candidates[56] but persuaded the Central Committee to withhold its endorsement from Hallinan. Harris ran a "forceful" campaign, assisted by former mayor Willie Brown, Senator Dianne Feinstein, writer and cartoonist Aaron McGruder, and comedians Eddie Griffin and Chris Rock.

Hallinan was white. Harris won because she was a black woman and used her black status to turn the election into being about throwing out the old white man in favor of the young black woman, and got a bunch of power brokers and celebrities to help her.

She just "black woman'd" herself from high school all the way up to Vice President.

I personally think that most of her career success can be attributed to:

Speaker of the California Assembly Willie Brown, who was then dating Harris,

She spread her legs and leveraged Willie Brown to win her various positions. Assembly Speaker was far more powerful back then than it is now, probably equal to that of Governor, because all legislation had to go through Brown. And he wasn't subject to term limits like they have now.

But I do agree that the legal profession bends itself into pretzels trying to accommodate black people generally, and black women especially.
