Like most societal problems these days it can be traced to academia. Our laws schools are money grubbing whores despite their bent for leftist socialism. They are printing JDs for fees. It’s fricking out of control.

I'm sure saturation will only get worse with more and more more online Law programs popping up... Especially in California

There are more law schools now than ever, when we need to have fewer law schools.

Making the bar more difficult simply creates more people who have wasted a lot of money going to law school.

The over-saturation of the legal profession and the proliferation of flat-out stupid people becoming lawyers has reached an unsustainable rate

We do have way too many law schools. Foremost, I would automatically cut these in-state, unaccredited law schools. For the most part, they aren’t good schools (other states won’t allow the applicant to sit for their exam) and the students typically have no business being in school.

Then, schools that have a below 50% in-state passage rate are automatically put on “probation” and then they’d have ___ (whatever is appropriate) amount of years to correct it. If not, they lose their accreditation.

Then, I know it’s up to each, individual state, but should we cap the amount of times one can take the exam?

Uhhh, it isn't a restriction on freedom to raise the intelligence bar when it comes to who is allowed to represent people in the court room.

Do you want medical schools and boards to get easier so we have more dumb, shitty doctors that harm patients?

Tennessee. We have two, maybe three, I believe (Belmont, Nashville, Duncan).

North Carolina has two? South Carolina has one? Alabama has one or two? They aren’t that uncommon.

Universities are tied in closely with the political machine. Anything that makes them money will not change.

Yeah, because Universities and Student Loans are Shining Examples of Freedom!

just feel like existing lawyers would want to rally together to make the bar exam much harder.

That is in their best interest if less lawyers are entering the market and the overall reputation of the profession improves.


Sure seems like that would lead to a class action suit against state bar associations.

Imagine suing an association of lawyers.

I like the Wisconsin model which is if you pass level school in Wisconsin you are automatically a lawyer. Bar exam is BS anyway
