Monday at the Bar: The ABA and the UBE

Truly, ABA, do any of you practice law outside of the East Coast big cities?

Two ABA items from awhile ago, that I'm just getting around to posting now:

1. Could Uniform Bar Exam help law grads' mobility? ABA House asks states to adopt it 'expeditiously'

Who, really, cares. The grads, surely, but the bar exam doesn't exist to aid them, it exists t hinder them and protect the public.

It's funny that a society that worries, in some instances, about firearms "mobility" doesn't worry that much about lawyers moving from state to state with no hindrance, even though they can really do the damage.

2. The UBE Poll, posted more than a bit late.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
