A Lawyer Walks Into a Bar, Documentary


This documentary about taking the Bar Exam is actually pretty good.

Watching a 2007 documentary about taking the Bar while studying for the 2008 Bar was a bit like the "hand drawing the hand." I thought I would spiral into non-existence. I thought it would be mind-numbing. Instead, I couldn't stop watching, and then at the end I cried.

It has lots of good stats: i.e. law schools are the only grad school where pessimists achieve better than optimists.

It follows several women, a guy who's taking the test for the 3rd time, and a guy who's taking the test for the 41st time.

This one lady went to one of those unaccredited law schools in CA, where all the professors are volunteers, and the instructor warns about evil corporations.

Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20-TjNU6qMs
