Preciously little scru- tiny has been given to the bar examination in the fifty states by the legal profession, law pro- fessors, students and others in- terested in how lawyers are shaped and who can and cannot get into this fraternity. Bar exams customarily are many years behind actual de- velopments ‘in the law as they relate to ordinary people. The questions ‘deal heavily with commercial and property’ ques- tions, traditional criminal law and negligence cases and some Dear Editor: Regarding the Post editorial “Overzealous’’. 1 have been picked up twice on Harveys Lake by the Fish Commission officers and on both occasions they~were ever so polite.

If you've ever seen all the speeding and overloaded boats at Harveys Lake on a Sunday, you know that their job that day is bad news. I imagine that about 4 p.m. on a Sunday, after a week of dealing with characters like myself out there. they must lose their tempers now and then. . But they were just fine with me. and with some others I've talked to. 1 wanted to say something positive about what they are doing out there. St Bill Runner. - Shavertown or more centuries ago. There is little reflection of recent po- verty, environmental, women’s right, tenant, consumer, and corporate responsibility legal trends: which have given more rights to ordinary citizens chal- lenging centers of power. Over the years, there has been a bias toward questions which reveal than the absence of rights and remedies for the weak. These exams also emphasize memorizing legal rules instead of the judgement and creativity of the law graduate’s responses. Consequently, they exert at many law schools a strong pres- sure to take courses and study material which cater to these examinations. At some of the lesser renown law ‘schools, this has contributed to a trade school atmosphere. At the more famous schools the process is more subtle but still heavily oriented at the so- called ‘bread and butter” courses. Students who. wish: {0 specialize in the frontier areas of the law mentioned above are Dallas Township “Dallas Township reported three accidents last week. Two cars were totally wrecked in separate crashes. A three-car collision occurred at the intersection of Routes 118 and 415 Aug. 3 at 5:09 p.m. Kathy Stroud, RD 1, Sweet Valley was traveling on Route 415 and proceeded to make a left hand turn onto Route 118. She hit left rear door of a car driven by Clair Mabus, "RD 1, Plymouth, causing Mrs. Mabus to strike John Petrickonis, Frances Slocum Trailer Park, Kingston Township, on the right stopped for a stop sign at the intersection on Route 118. Officer John Appel invest- igated and estimated damages at $500 to the Stroud vehicle, $800 to the Mabus vehicle and $400 fo the Petrickonis vehicle. There were no injuries. All cars ‘were driven away ‘by their owners. Samuel’ Rooney, 223 Linden St.. West Pittston was involved in an accident at the same in- tersection Aug. 5 at 2:25 a.m. Mr. Rooney was, traveling went through the intersection, failing to stop at the stop sign. He continued 75 feet over an embankment, coming to rest in a northeast direction. He was charged with failing to stop at the stop sign by officers Russell Banta and Doug Lamoreau. His car was listed by the police as “totadly disabled.” Another one car accident resulting in total wreckage was reported Aug. 5 at 9:20 p.m.; on Eddingers Hill Road. William Frey, Oak Hill, was traveling on Ryman Road and attempted to make a left hand turn onto Eddingers Hill Road: He stated ‘that he blacked out and lost control of his 1969 sedan. He was taken to the Nesbitt Hospital by his father. His vehicle went off the road into a ditch and traveled 50 feet until it hit a tree. a : Patrolmen Doug Lamoreau igated. | %is | Dallas Borough Three borough accidents, all investigated by patrolman Robert Kelley, caused no in- juries during the past week. At 4:45 on Aug. 2; Mr. Kelley was at the scene of a fender-bender at the entrance to the Dallas Shopping Center. Anne Pasevento, 25 S. Franklin Ave., Berlin, N.J., was attempting a left turn from route 309 into the parking lot. Benjamin C. Prutzman, RD 1, Sweet Valley, tried to make a right turn from the lot onto 309 In the process the two cars collided. ; The bumper of the un- damaged. Prutzman car did about $50:damage to the fender At 5:15 the next afternoon, Officer Kelley was investi- gating a hit-and-run fender- bender, which occurred directly behind Fino’s Pharmacy at the center of the borough. A motor- eycle owned by Dominic Fino, RD 3. Wyoming. was knocked down by an unidentified car, The vehicle damaged had been parked between the store and the parking ‘curb at the rear of the store. About $25 damage was done to the right of the cycle’s front fender. The hit- and-run vehicle left red marks on that fender. At 7:20 p.m. on the same day, Aug. 3, Officer Kelley was again at the entrance to the Dallas Shopping Center. A car driven by Christine Banks, 25 Shaver Ave.. Shavertown, was driven away with $150 damage. Driven away with $100 damage was a car belonging to Grace D. Troutman, Pole 25, Harveys Lake. "5.0 #4 The Troutman car, stopped in the left lane to turn into the shopping area. The Banks girl entered the left lane to pass another car, reported she didn’t see the Troutman car in time. to stop. and the accident likely to be less prepared for the bar exam than those who take the more established pathways through the curriculum. A new idea—the multistate bar examination—featuring 200 multiple choice questions over a six hour examination period is spreading rapidly. Thirty two states now give this uniform test developed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) of Columbia, Miss. in close association with the Edu- cational Testing Service (ETS) of Princeton, N.J. ) Since it was first given in February 1972, law students have been complaining to me about its stress on knowing picayune yet vague differences between definitions of rules that have to be memorized. They claim that it requires even less judgement and analysis than the Liaw School Aptitude Test also’ administered by ETS. One of the more astounding discoveries made by the stu- dents ‘is that even the experts can’t agree on the ‘best ans- wer” to many of the multiple- choice questions. For example, the two Bar Review Courses in Washington, D.C.; differed on the answers to 54 out of 200 questions on the February 1972 exam. Joe Covington, Director of Testing for NCBE confirms that the answers to old exams are not given to the students or to the Bar Review Courses. How then can such wide discrepan- cies be cleared up and ambigui- ties in the questions be ana- lyzed? There is a likelihood that the NCBE multi-state test will spread to more states and be- come exclusive. Presently states have a day or two devot- ed to essay type questions. But already, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, according to Mr. Covington, don’t even bother to grade the essay questions if the law graduate makes a certain score on the multiple choice questions. Since some prominent cor- porate lawyers running bar associations have complained about the large number of young lawyers coming into the profession, some with reform- ing zeal, it is time to look into: the tiny elite which secretly shapes the policy behind those bar exams. Consumers of legal services have enough to complain about without seeing more artificial barriers and mechanistic hur- dles increase to distort legal education and penalize innova- tive and judgmental thinking.
