I THINK I’M GETTING AN INKLING OF WHY BAR-FAILURE RATES ARE UP: UCLA law professor learns Ferguson-related exam question taboo. “Law school exams often present legal conundrums ripped from headlines of the day, but one UCLA law professor is apologizing for basing a test question on what is apparently a taboo subject — the fallout from the police shooting of a black man in Ferguson, Mo.” Grow up. It’s already hard enough to get a job in law without gaining a reputation for being hothouse flowers with pre-chipped shoulders.
