California Supreme Court Moves to Make Bar Exam Easier to Pass
&gt; The move follows a sometimes furious debate in California legal circles over whether the state’s passing score, or “cut score” — 144 — was unrealistic.<p>If the passing score were unrealistic, there would be no lawyers in CA.  Since there are lawyers in CA, the passing score is both realistic and achievable.<p>I&#x27;m not an attorney in CA, but I imagine the score measures both intelligence and knowledge in the field.  Why shouldn&#x27;t a prospective attorney be required to score 100% on knowledge?  That seems reasonable to me, at least for the area of law they will practice.
