I'm very OK with this. The world doesn't need more good lawyers. Heh.
Holy shit. The dumbing down of America to the lowest common denominator continues. I'm Washington State you no longer have to pass the bar exam to be a lawyer. The state supreme court decided the exam requirement is unfair because some people aren't smart enough to pass it.

The only thing worse than a good lawyer is a bad lawyer. If you ever need one in Washington State you'd better ask them to show you their bar exam certification.
It'll be a very good way to differentiate between the two. But also...
I'm not OK with most state certification requirements. The government shouldn't be in charge of determining who can do what. That's not cool.
I support professional standards boards for most skilled professions, but they should be private orgs and not state run. Like ASE for mechanics.
I don't, unless they are optional.
ASE is a plain old money grab via cartel models.
Eliminating licensure is not the same as making the license requirements fake and gay
yer ok that your childrens justice - their right to be left alone - will be increasingly mediated by "marginalized groups" who have been trained to think that it was your children who marginalized them in the first place?
maybe read a bit about modern S African history before you throw out the baby with the bathwater...
