Lawyer tests vs. Doctor tests = False Equivalency. Nonsensical to compare.

Are you suggesting the DEI is not influencing Medical schools?

Geeze, the topic here is lawyers! For your further consideration (from same link):Are you suggesting the DEI is not influencing Medical schools?
"The Court’s orders implement these changes:
Adopt the National Conference of Bar Examiners’ NextGen bar exam, which addresses many of the identified flaws in the current bar exam by focusing on real-world skills and practice. The NextGen bar exam will be implemented in Washington in summer 2026.
Create three experiential-learning alternatives to the bar exam, one for law-school graduates, one for law-school students, and one for APR 6 law clerks (who are enrolled in a non-law school course of study).
For graduates, this would entail a six-month apprenticeship under the guidance and supervision of a qualified attorney; during that time, the graduates would be required to complete three courses of standardized coursework.
For law students, the experiential pathway would allow them to graduate practice-ready by completing 12 qualifying skills credits and 500 hours of work as a licensed legal intern; they would be required to submit a portfolio of this work to waive the bar exam.
For law clerks (enrolled in a non-law school course of study), creation of additional standardized educational materials and benchmarks to be completed under the guidance of their tutors that dovetail with the requirements of the law school graduate apprenticeship, and 500 hours of work as a licensed legal intern to be eligible to waive the bar exam.
Call for the investigation and adoption of assessments and programs to help ensure lawyers remain competent throughout their careers, not just upon the moment of licensure."

I was gong to mention doctors but doctors have a direct effect on a persons health. Not in the same class as Attorneys.
It could be if your are an attorney defending somebody accused of murder.

I guess you can always do a background check on your attorney if you can.

You are right, what you said was a dumb statement. What the hell does this have to do with the constitution?

It's weird - and more than a little scary - to read the reactionary comments here.
Doctors and pilots can face life-threatening emergencies. Whether they've passed a written test or not, I'd suggest that their level of experience is what would give me the best chance of survival.
There are already incompetent lawyers (who passed a written test), but also Appeals Courts, and other avenues of recourse, and there is time to remedy.
On a side note, I'm curious if there's ever been a rich defendent sent to prison because of an incompetent lawyer?

Yup, even with the Bar exam, there are still so many incompetent and terrible Attorneys. But the question is will this new rule or law in these states make it worse or make it better? I don’t know.
