On what grounds? Anyway the suit would eventually find its way to the LA Supreme Court, who are the ultimately responsible for setting the rules for the bar exam in the first place. I doubt they'll find their own test unconstitutional.


Antitrust. Got a friend writing a paper on this now actually.

Well, good luck on that. Can't imagine any judge in the country buying the argument, no matter what scholarly merit it might have. I think the only realistic remedy is legislative, and good luck getting a La. Constitutional Amendment with the express purpose of allowing in more lawyers.

Oh, I'm not saying that it isn't a reach.. but it's a novel approach to the topic. The whole constitutional argument has been done to death and I don't think it's going anywhere.

Why would the LASC rule on the constitutionality of the test, wouldn't it be a claim against the institutions failing to reasonably perform?

Excuse my ignorance, I'm just a jabroni 1L.

So we can no longer test Dr.'s, Lawyers, CPA's, Electricians and Beauticians and 16 year old drivers for basic competence and let them loose on the public?

Just the fact that historically a large percentage of law grads fail the bar is cause enough for concern that they can somehow spend 3 years in intense study and still don't get it.

Sounds like something a bunch of idiots that can't pass the bar would dream up...

Is "Other" that new school in North Louisiana? Good statistics for a new school.


i'm sure this was answered (didn't read past this post), but other would be all other law schools in the universe (I think you'll find that the universe pretty much covers everything).

i assume most people from out-of-state schools have taken other bars and have probably been practicing some, so not surprised by decent pass rate.

lol.

LSU doesn't do the attrition thing like the used to right? since the Vandy guy took over as dean? am i making this up?

and i assume admissions in general are getting tougher across the board, so that equalizes Tulane and a now-non-attrition-based LSU as far as the LSU advantage I mentioned early in this thread.

These rates are somewhat expected since a large majority of February takers failed the July exam right?

generally true, yes.

in some states i bet the % of takers who are experienced attorneys is higher in feb due to graduation typically being in May. so that could offset some of the retaker-effect.

didn't Louisiana change the conditioning rules too?

Yep; no conditioning.

You pass or you take the whole thing over again.
