Thank you for pointing out your intelligence. You're not related to Joe The Senator by any chance are you? Oh and by the way, if you want to know what pressure is, try actually producing something, on time, on budget while making payroll, paying taxes, negotiating with labor & clients. As you can tell. You have a long way to go before you impress anyone here. wittejd:

If you had, you would know what a law school exam is supposed to look like--hint: it's not like anything you took at Southern Alabama Technical College. Did you take a gander at the length of the exam? I'm fairly certain that none of you have taken an exam for more than 4 hours in your life. As for the test itself: 1) All of the stuff that is highlighted, are FACTS that must be applied to existing case law to come up with an answer--they are not political points! The point of the exam is to argue from the point of view of the government AND the people involved--you don't score very high if you only argue one side; 2) the State of Nirvana is listed so that students don't think that the law of any particular state controls the result (note: this practice is common on every law school exam from Harvard to whatever crack community school you went to--provided they have law schools, which they probably don't); 3) I noticed that the moderator didn't take the time to look at the other questions, maybe you should read the WHOLE exam; 4) things like Obama described in the exam facts ACTUALLY DO HAPPEN! I guarantee if any of you ever got in legal trouble, you would want someone who could answer questions like these. As someone who actually attended a law school ranked higher than Chicago (NOT very many of them), I can tell you that these are well thought out, comprehensive, and challenging examinations. Lest I forget, that this one examination determined the ENTIRE grade of the person taking it---try working under that pressure. You people must not have gone to law school….
