This feels like a good time to renew our call to abolish the bar exam 💀
Wow. For years, an official in Arkansas allegedly tampered with bar exam scores, pulling points from some test takers and giving them to others.
This caused numerous failing exams to pass, and resulted in "at least one instance" where an otherwise passing exam fell below the cc: @BarExamTutor

Today is Disabled Women's Equal Pay Day. Did you know that disabled women are paid 56 cents for every dollar paid to nondisabled men? Disabled women, including disabled women who are legal professionals, are forced to do more with less. We deserve better. #DWEPD #MoreWithLess

this is definitely why a few of us went to law school tbqh 🙈
People on here will ask “Is it too late to start over at 28?” and everyone will reply “Yikes. Hate to break it to you gramps but it was over for you 10 years ago.” Meanwhile my 63 year old neighbor is taking the bar exam because he has a list of pharma companies he plans to sue
