    His "unique and trashy style" took him all over the world in Senior sabre events. That is a grueling schedule in itself. His counsel and that of others like Keeth, Jason and James have helped shape my son's fencing, as he has spent time with them.

    Anyone who can handle all those Senior events year after year, have a life and make the Olympic team deserves where he is. Be careful where you take your shots.. Are you characterized by beating Tim Morehouse??

    You people don't want to give this a rest, do you?
    However, summary statistics compiled by the National Conference of Bar Examiners show that when considering only graduates of ABA-accredited schools, the average pass rate for the years 2003-2006 was 54.5% — 8.9% lower than the pass rate for Florida — the next lowest "large population" jurisdiction.
    It was lower when I took it. Yes, California allows graduates of non-ABA schools to sit for its exam and a higher percentage of them fail. The pass rate for non-ABA graduates typically is in the low 20% range. The number of non-ABA graduates sitting for the bar, however, is limited by several factors, especially the need to pass the baby bar after the first year.

    California has plenty of lawyers and hasn't really felt the need to make it any easier to become one. California also does not have any reciprocity agreements for much the same reason.
