[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][qu[b]ote=Anonymous]I once heard Massechusetts referred to as Passechusetts. . [/quote][/b]

I've never heard that but I've taken both the CA and Mass. bar exams.  CA was three days and very tough.  Mass. was one day and a walk in the park.  [/quote]

[b]I call BS.  I have taken and passed both.  MA is actually 2 days, as you would know if you'd taken it.

The third day made the CA exam more grueling, but the CA essays and MA essays were comparable in terms of difficulty.[/quote]

And learn how to spell it.   :shock: [/quote][/b]

Disagree.  There's a big difference between the CA and the Mass. bar (which was only one day back when I took it).  CA would test you on the 17th exception to the mailbox rule but Mass. would test just on the mailbox rule.  I kept thinking "there's got to be a trick question in here somewhere".  CA purposefully wants to keep lawyers from coming into the state so makes the bar very tough, as does VA with its never-ending CLE requirements.  Also CA allows or used to allow "reading" candidates who never went to law school but studied in a law office under a lawyer's tutelage for two years to take the test.  That allowance harkens back to prioneer days when students couldn't get to a local law school. Calif. also has a for-profit law school allowance.  Anyone who can pony up the money can go to law school.  Those graduates often have great difficulty passing the California bar.  I don't know if that still exists but it was crushing for many students to spend more than three years paying and studying in a for-profit and then not be able to pass the CA bar.[/quote]
