TKC adds the hyperlink to this EPIC take down of a dangerous bit of Missouri privilege for politicos . . .
Uncommon Courage sums up the bill perfectly: "A Missouri Legislator proposed HB 2610 - a bill that states that legislators serving the minimum 2 year term, that is less than 5 months each term, is qualified to become a lawyer or judge. Cool! No requirement of going to any stupid law school, learning, contracts, torts, real estate law, or anything except how to pass legislation. No tests. No studying. No bar exam. No college even necessary. Presumably, a high school diploma is not needed. No ethics exams. No three years of intensive study. No bar exam. No moral and ethical qualifications probed. All you need to do is file to become a representative in a small county with no resistance, and after two years, you too, can sit as a judge on Missouri's highest court, the Supreme Court . . ."
You decide but let's not forget that there's already two law school grads for every lawyer job . . .
She's right, but I like the part, where she thinks only Conservatives will abuse this initiative.

If Melissa Click was a lawyer, she would be Lynn Bratcher.
I'll take it! Running for State Rep.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen what passes for lawyers and judges in this State? There's hardly a high standard.
ReplyDeletechuck and 8:05 both have good points. Strike this bill down, there is enough idiots claiming to be good lawyers who should be a judge let alone having Bubba from Petticoat Junction have the right to be.
ReplyDeleteGiven the long list of Jackson County prosecutors who are fucking incompetent or lazy there just isn't to much you can do to hurt an already fucked up legal profession in Missouri.
