Attorneys should be idealistic, zealous advocates, and they should stand up for what's right, particularly when it's not easy. As a result, these grads represent the best of our profession, and exactly what our profession should aspire to be. https://twitter.com/alittleleader/status/1291118368368594945

They are risking their very licenses scrutinizing the value of a standardized test as a barrier to their entry into a profession they have already worked extremely hard and spent thousands or hundreds of thousands to enter. In my view, they've done so persuasively and gracefully.

All the while, many within the very profession these grads seek to enter have turned their backs on them, ridiculed them, and condescended them. Some apparently have even threatened them. This should sicken every practicing attorney who is actually paying attention right now.

If you're an attorney and you think that these grads should have to take the bar under circumstances you didn't, and you can't come up with a better reason than "if I had to do it, you should, too," you're a worse representative for our profession, by far, than these grads are.

I stand with these grads and advocate for #DiplomaPrivilegeNow.

And for what it's worth, I can't wait to work with, work against, and to, hopefully, hire these grads. They've proved their worth to this licensed attorney, at the very least, irrespective of any standardized test.
