As a graduate of the California State Bar Law Office Study Program [1, LOSP /become-lawyer-law-degree], I always get concerned when I see laws/regulations that make it harder for those less fortunate or less gifted to have equal opportunity (note I did not say “similar outcome.”) So this new proposal has me taken aback.
What Exactly Is The Bar Exam?
The California State Bar examination is designed to check a law school or Law Office Study Program graduate’s knowledge of fundamental, general law and ethics. The California State Bar, Committee of Bar Examiners administers the actual Exam. The newly graduated lawyer must pass the Bar of their state to practice law. Unless there...
Back in January of 2022, the story, as covered by NBC News and other outlets, was that:
“Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer makes his retirement date official.”
Ketanji Brown is in as First Dark Skinned Female Judge
SCOTUS Changes
This followed a letter Breyer, who was nominated by President Bill Clinton and served as a senior member of the Supreme Court, wrote to President Joe Biden indicating his intention to step down from the bench. Immediately, the speculations from the White House to the shores of California began as people wondered who would be the replacement. That would become none other than Ketanji Brown Jackson, whose swearing-in was historic. Never before has this great honor been bestowed upon a black woman.

What Are Problems With Online Rating Sites?
The Rise in Legal Search on the Internet.
Examples of attorney rating sites are Martindale, Lawyers.Com, and Superlawyers. At least 78.1 million people in the United States use the World Wide Web. So, it stands to reason that these people are likely to use the Internet to locate a personal injury attorney.
Out of 228 million adult users of the Internet, 93% browse local businesses and other service types. This number includes law services. Such a large amount of traffic has caused an increase in questions. A small industry has taken over legal marketing on the web through attorney-ranking sites.
What Are Attorney Rankings Sites?
The popularity of attorney ranking sites has continued...
The question is not so cut and dry. We don’t know if her goal was to get into a JC. But we do know that she admitted to cheating in high school. We don’t know if that cheating got her scores high enough to get into Pierce. Born in 1980 in Los Angeles, California, Kim Kardashian West started gaining attention when her father, Robert Kardashian, became one of the lawyers on the legal team for OJ Simpson.
I am Los Angeles personal injury attorney Michael Ehline. I am a California State Bar Law Office Study graduate. I am also an inactive U.S. Marine. I befriended the late Johnny Cochran in my studies on the Law Office Study Program and always looked up to Robert Kardashian (criminal law) and Johnny Cochran as two of the best trial...

Ultimate Guide to Understanding Electric Vehicle Batteries
More electric vehicles are showing up on the road because they are excellent for the environment and will help people save money on gas. However, gas and diesel-powered car and truck owners have other reasons why they might continue to put off buying an electric vehicle. An example is how a girl’s electric car needs a new battery but is more expensive than the vehicle itself.
What Happened with the Electric Car?

How Does a Car Battery Work? | Basic Things About Electric Vehicles
Ultimate Guide to Understanding Car Batteries
Lithium-ion, alkaline, rechargeable, and others are present in our daily lives. Batteries work in our cell phones, portable devices, and, more recently, electric trucks and cars. Many experts are currently looking to “convert” traditional, gasoline-powered cars into cars with hydrogen fuel cells, which are a kind of battery.
While battery technology is available in many areas of our lives, some people still don’t know how these work, and terms like “electric current,” “dry cell batteries,” “nicad battery,” and more can be confusing. The truth is, however, the process isn’t...

Ultimate Guide to Understanding Critical Race Theory Masked as Education
In 2017, a school project related to slavery got out of control. A black woman tried to sue Los Angeles Unified School District when she realized firsthand how inappropriate it was to teach students how slavery was.

Allegations and even admissions of cheating and fraud by Kim Kardashian are no stranger to the press. But now, other celebrities have become embroiled with her in similar allegations in a cryptocurrency lawsuit.

Kim Kardashian, Floyd Mayweather, and basketball star Pierce were named defendants for promoting an alleged EthereumMax cryptocurrency scam. Plaintiffs have stood up against these media titans, but anyone having had the misfortune of being compelled to file...
He sure did become a lawyer without law school since there pretty much weren’t any. Born in 1739 in South Carolina, former Governor, and Chief Justice John Rutledge had a total of six younger siblings, including Andrew Rutledge, Thomas Rutledge, Sarah Rutledge, Hugh Rutledge, Mary Rutledge, and Edward Rutledge.
He was a man who played an important role in the Declaration of Independence, was part of the first Continental Congress, and the drawing up of the South Carolina constitution made him Governor. John took an interest in becoming a lawyer from an early age, and by the age of 17, he started to read law.

John studied law (reading for the law) for two years under James Parsons before heading to London’s...
Judge Barrett Sworn In To SCOTUS – Victory For Second Amendment
A Victory for Textualists as Amy Coney Barrett is sworn in as the newest Supreme Court Associate Justice. The 48-year-old transitions from the 7th Circuit Court of Appeal to the highest echelon of the judicial branch. With her experience in academia and the Court, Barrett will be one of the most experienced Supreme Court Justices in recent history. This is quite an accomplishment, considering her age.
Aiding Barrett through this process was an incredible testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Seeing blood after the damaging Brett Kavanaugh hearings of 2018, Senate Democrats thought they could hem in the judge. However, as her famous note holding up her notes–...
