AT LEAST NOW THEY HAVE HALF A CHANCE

Japan has finally done some major reform to its legal system, and thereby its bar exam. Given the ever increasing litigiousness of cultures worldwide, Japan has revamped its attorney licensing exam. Now, instead of facing a pithy three percent pass rate, new Japanese law graduates can soon enjoy a fifty percent pass rate. The change is expected to take place in 2011. Currently fewer than 1,500 are allowed to pass each year.

Wow, and I thought the CA bar had a low pass rate.
