Altruism and the California Bar

The California state bar exam, one of the toughest in the country, is catching flak over its failure rate. The dean of Stanford University law school and the mayor of Los Angeles are just a few of the prominent people who've flunked the exam.

Bar exam officials deny that they are just trying to keep down the number of attorneys. They claim the exam is needed to protect the consumer.

After all, they should know the stuff, right?
