  1. This will become the scenario envisioned by Chuck McGill (Better Call Saul) – a bunch of “chimps with machine guns” practicing law.

  2. I guess I’m missing something here I don’t see a problem. If they can’t graduate enough lawyers to staff the Halls of Justice, then the solution is to import more TFW’s (or illegal aliens in America) to fill the gap. Temporary Foreign Workers have been used to fill the gap in most other industries so where is the problem here. As far as most of the politicians, many of them lawyers themselves, they have been in agreement with importing foreign workers to fulfill positions that Canadians or Americans can’t or won’t work at. So again where is the problem.

  3. Funny that sent me on a google quest about Henry repeating arms and winchesters to supplenient the bolt actions never been registered guns and rifles.

  4. The American higher education cabal is all about the money … and political correctitude. Why would Law schools lower their admission standards ? Money. What’s a poor college to do … if it cannot find enough students to feed the kitty ? To support a bloated, overpaid, faculty ? Simple. Lower their admission standards. Further, what is a politically-correct Law School to do if they NEED to meet diversity quotas ? Answer: Lower the admission threshold. And when the colleges do this … “Everybody wins”; colleges ensure a massive cash flow, poor brown people get to hire semi-capable brown paralegals. Paralegals, because they cannot, evidently, pass the Bar. This cannot be tolerated … so the court makes it easier to pass the Bar exam. Now we can ALL lose together.
    The dirty little unspoken motive behind Common Core is to “level the playing field”, read: dumb-down our educational system. My wife is a public school teacher, and I have seen the details of CC up close and personal. In a word, it is SICK. We are institutionalizing FAILURE. Common Core is the leftist answer to the courts erasure of Affirmative Action in college admissions. Common Core scores students based on their “intent” as opposed to “result”. It is blatant pandering to poor students, and a means for schools to report higher test scores, without having to actually TEACH. The unintended consequences of this “well-intentioned” program will be dire. And here is one of the first tangible results … lowering the bar of the Bar (exam).

  5. I taught for several years at a certain post-secondary institution. I’ve got lots of stories to tell about lowering standards and passing people who should have never been admitted in the first place.

  6. This has been going on all across our society for years, ever since Affirmative Action was made into law.
    Now, with lower standards to the Bar in the USA, there should be a circus with their low life classes claiming inadequate defence whenever they are convicted.
    One of the worst examples is some of the people who have managed to get hired by police forces in Canada through A-A, often the subject of national headlines.
    I can’t wait for the day they do the same in dokter skule.

  7. Doktor: Well, once we opened you up, everything looked really confusing (not at all like the textbook picture). So we accidentally cut-out half of your liver instead of your gall bladder. But you should still be OK … after we operate again to remove your gall bladder. Now, we think we know where it is.
    Patient: I am going to SUE !!
    Lawyer: What’s a gall bladder ?
    Doktor: Your Obamakkare policy protects all government Doktors from lawsuits
    Patient: Kill me now. Don’t let me linger in this hellish dystopia.
    Doktor: OK, your ARE covered for assisted suicide … which is one of the primary care directives that allows Obamakkare to manage costs

  8. Dumb, dishonest, newly minted lawyers with good people skills could
    always alternate between politics and the used car selling game as
    their karma ebbs and flows.

  9. I heard this morning that a woman is suing her college because she can’t get a job after receiving her law degree and claims the college over-estimated their placement rate. The college’s response was she didn’t try hard enough to get a job. I suspect both statements are true.

  10. LOL !!!
    if this continues, I can see a time when 95% of the population is obese and the Olympic 100 meter dash is reduced to oh, 10 meters tops.
    law of unintended consequences there somewhere. the LAST time I taught at private college (mid 90s) I bytched incessantly at the pathetic equipment and was let go a month before the end of the year by the newly minted general manager. leaving the students in the lurch, dealing with a very difficult assignment which I had fully prepared to walk them through.
    the college closed some 3, maybe 4 year later. they just. didn’t. get. it.

  11. Desperate times call for desperate measures
    We wouldn’t want the US to run out of lawyers, would we?

  13. when I went to hi skool I was in a hi achiever class (pilot program), all white and all male. Damn thing didn’t last to long:-))
    When I took my industrial engineering, again hi achiever class. And again, all white, and all male. That course only lasted for 4 classes, and yup, they shut the sucker down. When there is a limited # of available participants, and they are not “diverse” enough, the thought pohleece will shut “er down:-)))

  14. Evidently … you were unaware of YOUR ‘white privilege’. It’s NOT too late to beat yourself up for it. Maybe the government will start TAXING white people … with a sliding scale … depending upon your tan. I am sure they can count our melanin or something … ?

  16. This assumes that there is a direct correlation between an LSAT score and the ability to pass law school and end up as a decent lawyer. That assumption may not be correct. Someone whose LSAT is not great may still be able to get through law school and end up as a really good general (and perhaps small town) lawyer. Same obtains in other fields. I know someone who ended up going abroad to get the degree couldn’t get in Canada because grades “too low”. He’s now a highly respected professional, and generally acknowledged as being brilliant in his field.
