It's quite common and not a bar to admission. Hell, some fail 4 or 5 times and failing twice is fairly routine.![]()

We have not been able to confirm the pass rate for when Harris took the exam again. Only 33.9% of people passed the February 2024 general bar exam![]()
In California you don’t need an accredited law degree to take the bar exam, so the overall pass rate is low.It's quite common and not a bar to admission. Hell, some fail 4 or 5 times and failing twice is fairly routine.
Could he have meant “on” like he was “on” Stormy?Apparently Trump claimed his wife was on the Czech Olympic ski team.
Oddly no records of that exist.
Assuming that's accurate, it's still one on 5 law school educated people who fail.In California you don’t need an accredited law degree to take the bar exam, so the overall pass rate is low.
When you filter down to the UC state educated lawyers, like Harris, >80% pass first try.
FIFYAs we've seen in times past, the bar can always be lowered. Into a trench
Yup. One in five UC lawyers do not pass.Assuming that's accurate, it's still one on 5 law school educated people who fail.
To be fair they would have actually passed their classes, but failed The Bar. The Bar Exam would be separate from their scholastic requirements.Yup. One in five UC lawyers do not pass.
I guess there’s no shame in that.
We have to make a presumption that they will either do what they said they would do, or make a strong attempt at it. In this case, the consequence is the end of democracy and the introduction of religious authoritarianism.I know we aren’t new to politics, politicians will say anything for votes
You seem to think there’s a difference from one party to another.We have to make a presumption that they will either do what they said they would do, or make a strong attempt at it. In this case, the consequence is the end of democracy and the introduction of religious authoritarianism.
Not only do I not want someone to do that ... I don't want anyone to even attempt to do so.
So ... no Trump, and no Retrumplicans, and no MAGA.
It’s a bit looser than that. Unaccredited diploma mills, working for a judge or in a law office, foreign law degrees will qualify for trying the California bar exam.To be fair they would have actually passed their classes, but failed The Bar. The Bar Exam would be separate from their scholastic requirements.
Edit - It seems that a "legal education" is required but a law school diploma is only one way to qualify for that requirement.

In a surprising twist, traditionally Trump-supportive Florida is showing an unexpected surge in enthusiasm for Kamala Harris. This turnaround, especially noticeable in The Villages, a MAGA stronghold, signals a significant shift. The sight of over 200 golf carts at a Harris rally, amid American flags and upbeat music, underscores a potential upheaval in support that could impact the November election. politics
