I taught a US citizenship class to South Sudanese refugees in Nebraska, 2006-2007. Fleeing civil war, they worked arduous jobs at a meat packing plant. Many had no literacy in any language. But they studied hard for a citizenship exam which many native-born Americans would not be able to pass.

Many times when I start an email from my phone, I accidentally type “Ho” instead of “Hi.” 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Luckily, I catch it often. On the bad days, I don’t. 🫠😵‍💫

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

Very excited for this webinar that’s about to begin: The Future of Bar Admissions. It’s critically important, especially in light of the chaos that was the February 2025 California bar exam and with the Next Gen Bar Exam on the horizon.

This week was extremely difficult for California Bar takers. Approximately 5,000 examinees sat for the California State Bar Exam. A number of changes were implemented prior to the exam and they resulted in a massive exam failure that may have impacted all applicants in one way or another.

If you want to read an excellent and well-researched book on the future of attorney licensing, based on the history of bar exams and law schools, grab a copy of Joan’s book. She provided a discount code! 👇
