Interesting writeup, but I will never forgive you for making me see Ursula von der Leyen kissing Angela Merkel.

You're asking me to listen to this? Are you saying that this post is a...MUTHAFUCKEN INVITATION?

He's gonna do it. He's gonna steal the Declaration of Independence.

+1 to this. Just wash it out before you put new mints in it. The Altoid flavor can be pretty persistent and mess with the flavor of whatever else you put in there. They're curiously strong, after all.

Well, it removes some pretty heavy financial obstacles for the profession and will allow a broader diversity of people to enter the field. Plus, anyone who has ever been to law school will tell you that it doesn't teach you dick diddly about practicing law. Serving as a clerk/intern/junior associate is where you really cut your teeth. Some jurisdictions even have restrictions on your ability to practice on your own if you haven't observed or participated in different types of legal matters. To that end, I think it's terrific that this program has a fairly strong practical requirement.

The bar is a way to show that you can at least think like an attorney in a variety of fields. That thought process is applied differently based on where you practice. I can't get out of my own speeding ticket, but I can breeze through your average regulatory exam for my industry. I can do that because I've spent time in a few different disciplines within the legal field. I'm not sure if 16 weeks is necessarily a substitute for the exam, but that's more time than I spent studying for it.

But only if he maintains a training regimen on par with Hugh Jackman's for Wolverine. I want to see squiggly veins in Ernest's biceps.

Sad day, but the digital carousel of penises will live on elsewhere.
