The name of the bar exam was taken today by The St. Petersburg Times, asserting in an editorial called "Miers' Omissions":
Had it been a bar examination that Harriet Miers turned in, she would have flunked. Aspiring lawyers get second chances, but until now no Supreme Court nominee has needed one. . . .
Read the entire editorial here. I have been undecided on the Miers nomination. I think it is important for bar candidates to learn from the criticism of Miers exactly how high the standards are in the legal profession. Jonathan Adler in the New Republic Online has been reporting on the typos in her questionnaire.
