105? Thats impressive af.
I used to type a lot more than I do these days, so while I can still hit strides and sprint up to about 115wpm for short periods, I’m probably more consistently between 95-100 at this point over any kind of length. Obviously still way faster than even the average professional, but I still feel that nagging loss, when you can just feel that you’ve lost a step

not very apparently
It is like a quiz on masonry rites - initiation to get in the club
not like it is a PE exam or CPA exam

Guy in Catch Me If You Can studied and passed the Louisiana Bar after studying for a couple of weeks.

Bar exams are antiquated af. Should also look at ditching some bar exam subjects like property if they insist on having a bar exam. It’s archaic.

Agree, and (because this is literally the only context in which it matters or anyone gives a shite), I passed on my first try.

I agree that the bar exam is a terrible measure of if someone is fit to practice law.
Not sure what the solution is. Set something up like MDs where you "practice" under supervision for a long enough period of time? Reciprocity would have to be reworked.

Have you met lawyers? Need I say more?
Posted on 3/27/20 at 10:29 pm to HawkeyeHankHatfield
Back then not so hard because of conditional passing. But now it’s fricking brutal.

Yep. Even a decade ago, the number of handwriters were vanishingly small
Ohhh. I was married to ex1 from start to finish of LSU Law School and often grasped her course concepts much more comprehensively than she did. But she was an excellent student and damned near professional level writer. More than Once, and after her bar exam, I told her if I could type instead of hand write exam answers, I woulda whooped her arse in LSU law school. She didn't like that one bit. Ah well. I'm kinda special kinda genius.
But I can't fill 4 pages of loose leaf writing "I wanna be a lawyer long time" in their allotted time.
My hand gets tired filling out Urgent care clinic forms for my kids' flu test.

Some firms do a good job of mentoring some throw you in the deep end. I did my first criminal trial the day after I got my Rule 403 form approved.
In SC before you can not appear in a trial, hearing or deposition you have to view a certain number and types of trials/hearings and file the forms signed by the presiding judge etc with the Supreme Court.

To answer your question....for most business leaders/ceos, scientists, professional/terminal degrees, the bar exam is a joke and most run of the mill lawyers are basically historians.
Possibly the most out-of-touch post on the OT today.

You are a lawyer's favorite type of person in the world.
Let all your friends know that you've figured it all out, and how to handle those legal types of situations.

It's more annoying than hard.

That's the same in many professions. Some Software companies throw new hires to the wolves and keep the survivors.
Others have an entire dev training program for new hires.

They are what the attorney I clerked for called "DumbSmarts". "They see a fire and think they have an extinguisher when what they really have a five-gallon bucket of gas".
