Should The Summer Bar Exam Move From July To June?

National Conference of Bar Examiners President Erica Moeser thinks it's worth considering - and she's not convinced by the argument that students need more than a month after the end of third year to prepare.  (She's also a little miffed that a big chunk of law schools that offer for-credit bar prep courses use bar-prep companies, rather than traditional law profs, to teach them.)

This is shockingly naive. Without mandating that schools offer bar prep courses during 3L, two months after graduation is simply not enough time unless you want to see a spike in the number of nervous breakdowns.

It's a sad commentary on the state of LegalEd, but recent graduates aren't qualified to pass the bar. Really, the only thing a recent graduate is competent to do is issue spot Conlaw. That you must spend 2 months and $2,000 on more schooling after law school so that you can become a lawyer is unfair and kind of pathetic.
