Feels good to be finished, huh?

Come Nov., will you change your name to _pravnik Esquire_?  
(Or should that be **pravnik Esquire**?)

I heard they were taking a second look at your ethics test results, and various character and fitness answers. Something about a parking ticket in 1967?

The bar exams serve one function exceedingly well - they make boatloads of cash for Richard Conviser and other bar prep course whores.

Gee, if law school serves any purpose, why do you have to take a review course for the test - or even a test for that matter? And if the material on the test is important, why weren’t you required to study it in school? (_I guess the fact that I would even ask such questions suggests that I didn’t pay enough attention somewhere along the line._)

Almost enough to make me move to Wisconsin!
