Nationwide Bar (Exam) Could Be A Reality

Lawyers are notorious whiners. In a certain way, that is what they are paid to do. And one thing you will always hear lawyers, especially new ones, whining about is the bar exam.

The bar exam, to a lawyer, kind of turns into the big fish story that every old man has. The longer ago you took the bar, the more and more difficult it was at the time. Well, there is some breaking news on the bar exam front.

A movement exists to push for a national bar exam. Currently, in order to practice law in a state, a person must have either passed the bar in that state or waived into the bar through other requirements.

The new movement would nationalize the bar exam and make it easier for attorneys to practice law in other states. The Hypotenuse, of course, does not take a position on this either way. I am just here to inform those of you who are interested.
