The bar is bullshit, I had to memorize stuff like "men couldn't file for rape under common law" WTF is that.

Sometimes to correct injustices you need to study them.

agree, but not in the context of a gatekeeping exam.

Was that on the MBE or a particular state bar? I don't remember having to learn what was or wasn't common law.

[shicholas]

this was from my barbri class, hopefully you don't have to know that.

Just because you learned some random fact in your bar prep class doesn't mean "The bar is bullshit" as you claimed. It means your bar prep class included information that wasn't strictly necessary.

The bar is still bullshit that example is one of many. For instance I never want to touch divorce, why should I need to know community property? Same goes with personal injury. An open book test or one that’s all MPT (the essay part) I could get behind, memorizing what’s basically 200 pages of dense information is (upside down smiley face)
