Washington Supreme Court Rules Bar Exam Negatively Impacts Minorities, Will No Longer Require It For Lawyers

The Washington State Supreme Court officially abolished the traditional bar exam requirement for aspiring lawyers Friday due to its perceived negative impact on minorities.

The Supreme Court has announced that the bar exam is no longer a requirement for those who aspire to be practicing lawyers. The Bar Licensure Task Force claims that the exam is only minimally effective in measuring competency and noted its unfair barrier to marginalized communities aspiring to practice law, according to the Washington Administrative Office of the Courts. The Task Force on Bar Licensure found that the usual bar exam unfairly stops people from underrepresented groups from entering the legal profession. The exam is not good at measuring if someone is qualified.

Washington has followed Oregon in getting rid of the bar exam requirement, making it the second state to do so after Oregon. Other states like Minnesota, Nevada, South Dakota, and Utah are looking into different ways to license lawyers, the Spokesman-Review reported.

“These recommendations come from a diverse body of lawyers in private and public practice, academics, and researchers who contributed immense insight, counterpoints and research to get us where we are today,” Washington Supreme Court Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis, who chaired the task force, said in a statement, according to the Spokesman-Review. “With these alternative pathways, we recognize that there are multiple ways to ensure a competent, licensed body of new attorneys who are so desperately needed around the state.”

It's probably harder to get a barber/beautician license.

It's like the affirmative action admissions to engineering and medical schools. Good luck if you're being operated on by one of them, or driving across a bridge they engineered.

Isn't it racist to presume that minorities are not capable of performing as well as whites on law exams?

Yeah, kinda. It didn't occur to anyone when I took the bar exam a few decades ago. We all sat there, scared as rabbits, black and white - all knowing we had to pass the damn thing.

So why stop here?

No need to require the NCLEX for RN's for minorities.

No minority should have to take a class and pass a test to fly a plane

How about Dentistry? Mechanics? Engineers? Your Heart surgeon if God forbid you need a Bypass shouldn't have to take a test and can miss the harder classes because he/she is a minority.

In fact, let's just get rid of all classes, training, tests and just give minorities a job in whatever they want so we don't negatively impact them

Mentally unbalanced people seem to have no problem becoming lawyers in Washington.

The transgender attorney is representing one of the far-left activists charged with disrupting a council meeting in February.
