excellent work!

She failed the California Bar Exam.

[dkleinfeld]

Everyone fails the CA Bar at least once---that's kind of the point of the CA Bar. It's a trial-by-fire, where law students get their confidence beaten out of them.

[ebw343]

Horse$it -- do a little research first -- first-time California Bar Exam takers have a pass rate around 60%.

[NylonSmiles]

Isn't the bar exam designed for students who just came out of law school?

[ebw343]

No, it's designed to test if you understand California law well enough to practice law in California. Professor Sullivan did not.

[nonst8]

It is not at all uncommon for an atty to take the Cal bar more than once, as it is arguably the most difficult bar in the US.

[nonst8]

Closer to 50% and varies each exam.

[davinhci]

not really, it's actually a little over 40%

[nonst8]

50% or close to that each year.

[nonst8]

Along with 50% of the people who take it each year/

[lzambeni1]

She's extremely articulate, brilliant ...and humorous! There's a Facebook group supporting her nomination now btw...

We need to all call President Obama.

[nuscholar1979]
