quote:

The Louisiana Supreme Court (the “Court”) and the Louisiana Supreme Court Committee on Bar Admissions (the “LASCBA”) jointly announce that the 3-day bar examination previously scheduled for July 20, 22 and 24, 2020 has been cancelled. The LASCBA will now administer a one-day bar examination on two dates: July 27, 2020 and October 10, 2020.


quote:

The scope of the examination will also be reduced in light of the shortened testing time, and will be announced on the LASCBA’s website by Friday, May 15, 2020. This one-day, limited scope examination format will be used only for the July 27, 2020 and October 10, 2020 administrations.


What a load of waffle. The 3 day bar exam is a rite of passage in this state!

Just what Louisiana needs: more lawyers except this time with less rigorous testing

Better than the dental school. I heard they are just passing everyone. No need to meet requirements or take boards. You made it to senior year, here’s your license.

That’s messed up. They should buck the trend and increase it to 5 days.

That's fricking ridiculous, so much less torture, they could have easily just held it at multiple locations and spread people out

The limited scope of this bar exam is not a good look.

The Bar is fricking stupid. We need a more specialized exam. I’ve forgotten about 75% of what was on the Bar and used about 5% of it. And the 5% I used makes up a fraction of a fraction of a percent of my practice.

The vast majority of states are much easier to pass and have better lawyers.

The bar exam is hard for a reason. Most lawyers are useless and plentiful.
We need to create an opportunity for law school grads to sign contracts to be public defenders for 3 yrs in exchange for a specialized bar exam. Boom! I'ma a genius!

So many lawyer related posts on this board. No wonder why Louisiana is a shithole

I know you're being cute, but I would be in favor of Louisiana adopting an apprenticeship model in lieu of the Bar.
