The Delaware Supreme Court lowered the passing score on the state's bar exam amid other changes reportedly intended to increase racial diversity among the state's lawyers. The 200-question multiple-choice exam will be offered twice instead of once a year beginning in 2024 – and its passing score will be lowered from 145 to 143, according to local outlet WHYY. The number of essays on the exam will be decreased from eight to four, and the number of essay topics will be reduced from 14 to 10. The clerkship requirement is also being lowered from 21 weeks to 12 weeks, and the

Must have been low to begin with since Joe Biden passed it. Our whole education system has been dumbed down to accommodate certain people. Yes it is a barrier---to keep unqualified people from practicing law---rightfully so.

When is this delusional country going to wake up. Diversity is the code word for stupidity. Look at our grade schools today. In your democratic run cities like Chicago and Baltimore over 70% of the students DO NOT graduate high school. Close to 99.999% are functional illiterates who cannot read or do basic math. Every democratic run city is now a small 3rd world country. Pathetic...

In college 50 years ago, I thought I might like to be a lawyer. Friends whose dads were lawyers were interesting and had money. Took the LSAT with scores on the low end of acceptability. I didn't get into the schools I applied to, so took the test again and did marginally better. Got accepted, but struggled first two years before not having a sufficient GPA to start my final year. I was dismissed. Best thing that could have ever happened to me. I wouldn't have been happy as a lawyer. The Law School Aptitude Test (LSAT) accurately predicted I didn't have the aptitude to be a good lawyer. Lowering test scores is a terrible idea.

I passed (all first attempts) the bar exams in the District of Columbia, Missouri and Florida. Passing bar exams is not a barrier to anyone who took his or her law school studies seriously. I believe passing CPA exams and general contractors' licensing exams are more difficult. Hillary Clinton had a law degree (Juris Doctor) from Yale Law School but failed the District of Columbia bar exam. Of 817 applicants to that bar exam, 551 of her peers passed (67.45% pass rate), most from law schools less prestigious than Yale. She did not take the DC bar exam a 2nd time.** ** https://d26tpo4cm8sb6k.cloudfront.net/img/svg/calculate.svg Conclusion: Hillary Clinton did not take her Yale Law School studies seriously. While in law school and while practicing law for 50 years I never (not one time) heard any classmate, professor, lawyer or judge say anything that was grammatically incorrect, and never read anything written by a lawyer or judge that was grammatically incorrect. This past decade I've too often seen lawyers on TV who speak using incorrect grammar. Dumbing down bar exams is going in the wrong direction. Obviously, law students are now earning law degrees notwithstanding their bad grammar. It's disappointing.

The Biden administration on Friday proposed tightening an efficiency standard for new residential water heaters — a move that it said would both save consumers money and combat climate change. The draft rule would require that, in order to become more efficient, most common-size electric water heaters use heat pump technology and gas-powered heaters use condensing technology. The proposal from the Energy Department would cut 501 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions over 30 years, the department said. That’s the equivalent of the emissions of 134 coal-fired power plants in one year. The department also said the standards would

Romney issued his call in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Monday.
