PrawfsBlawg: The Bar Exam Should Be Abolished

Daniel Solove , Associate Professor of Law at George
Washington University Law School, argues on PrawfsBlog
that the bar exam should be abolished.

According to Solove, the bar exam "does not test on actual
law used in legal practice, but on esoteric legal rules, many
of which are obsolete, and most of which are of absolutely
no value to a practicing attorney or to anyone for that
matter."
