For many years, prior to being allowed to enter the courtroom, aspiring lawyers in America have been required to take a comprehensive multi-day test to assess their knowledge of law and procedure.
This article (and I haven't found any others either) fails to address the question of how such a test would differ from the tests we already take. Apparently we (and by we, I mean our unions) need to do a better job of publicizing the requirements we already meet when we obtain certificates.

The paint on my worn out ol' library soapbox is getting rather chipped these days, but I'm about to get back up on it, my friends. Brace yourselves.

Plus, I'm a huge fan of the author, Rita Meade, who has one of the best Twitter ids ever: @ScrewyDecimal. Delete the scoop?
