The bar exam weeds people out at the wrong point--after they've racked up 300k in loans. They should just set a minimum LSAT score to achieve the same purpose.

Or better yet, make a JD a Bachelor of Law degree without weeding out.
- fallingknife 4y agoBut then how do you weed people out?
- rhino369 4y agoLet the market decide. Nobody is going to hire someone with shit grades from a lowly ranked school. But instead of having 300k in debt, those unemployable Bachelor of Law grads will be no worse off than if they had a BA in an unmarketable field like sociology or poli-sci. Right now, they have to go get the the BA in anything (most do stuff like poli-sci) AND then they have to go spend 3 years and 300k dollars on a professional degree. The glut of lawyers isn't really a problem without all that wasted time and debt.
