If this isn’t the best display of how things work here in DC…
$219 “Professionalism Course” even after completing law school, an ethics course, the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam, a character & fitness exam, the Bar Exam, another professionalism course, a character interview, another character & fitness exam, and being a practicing attorney for seven months?
Actually being civil to other attorneys once you’re a full-fledged member of the profession?
Priorities!
I finally understand why DC doesn't have its own bar. They're too busy coming up with ethics and professional conduct courses. Which, of course, couldn't be more ironic, considering the jurisdiction.
ReplyDeleteActually, DC does have its own bar - 93,000 strong actually (third largest). It's just that nobody takes their bar exam.
ReplyDeleteEverything would be so much better if Marion Barry ran the course though. I'd gladly pay money for that.
