It already passed the bar exam. But that just goes to show how woefully inadequate the bar exam is for actually determining real world ability.

Yeah but knowledge of laws and how they apply is only a very small fraction of the actual job of being an attorney. It's a test to make sure that you understand the legal framework but it says nothing about your actual ability to be a good lawyer. I mean, there's already plenty of well-known cases of totally incompetent lawyers being out there who have passed the bar exam technically. So I guess people probably never considered it to be a test of actual job aptitude, but more of just a basic knowledge of law and the legal framework. But I don't really know anything about law so this is just speculation really
