Two of them were very sharp, two of them were of about average intelligence, one of them was kind of slow, and one of them had the IQ of a lightly toasted bagel. Quite an eye-opening experience; just because someone got through law school and passed the bar, no conclusions about their smarts can be safely drawn. Chicago buses and trains are awash with advertisements for [Kaplan](http://www.kaplan.com/). They have ads for their services including LSAT test prep. These ads make me grind my teeth and imagine an honest ad: _“Kaplan: Getting the incompetent into schools they don’t deserve for over 50 years!”_ ---
