There was a time several decades ago when many African American Southern grads were socially promoted and deemed to have “passed” the bar admissions test even though the bar examiners for various sections failed them.


Can you provide some evidence for this assertion?

Yes, along with a nursing program. Many nurses who treat you and your children are grads of SU nursing school.

Serious question, does Southern have an engineering program?


If I remember correctly... Southern was the only HBCU with a program ... don’t know if it’s still that way

I know he tried for a few others but Tulane was the best (along with the most scholarship dollars) of the places he was accepted. Tulane is also the only school in the state that teaches common law. I know he tried to get into George Washington but I guess didn't get accepted or it was too expensive.

Sports law? Lol

No wonder he has to leave Louisiana just to find a job. Who would hire a lawyer with a degree in sports management

Now I know you are just trolling but its sports law, not sports management. I mean someone has to write and review all those contracts.

I’ve graded bar exams.

How do you get chosen to do that?


Contact the Committee on Bar Admissions and tell them you want to be an assistant examiner for a particular part of the exam. I think you have to be admitted to practice for 5 years or so to be eligible.

There is one examiner for each of the nine parts. The examiner writes the test and a grading guideline. Each examiner can have as many as 50 assistant examiners, and the exams are divided among the assistants for the first round of grading.

The examiners are usually desperate to find competent assistants. If you know an examiner, contacting them directly may be the quicker route.

Asst. examiners get 6 hours of CLE credit per year, but they will put in far more hours while grading.

I’m sure he’ll end up doing grown up law after he gets tired of his unpaid internship

I am an attorney and deal with less than competent attorneys daily, so I speak from experience. I’m not pushing tort reform or concerned for insurance companies. Litigation in Louisiana is big business (PI specifically) and I would prefer we develop some other industries.
Sincerely,

High points:
*All law schools produce subpar attorneys
*Bar Exam should be difficult and evolve to remain as barrier from subpar law school graduates
*Personal Injury Attorneys are in excess
