    Get 'em California! Isn’t it true the California bar exam is the most difficult out of all 50 states?

      The only other state that I think even has a shot at that title would be New York and most of that difficulty is from NYC

          NYC is a really old and extremely populous municipality located within New York State sprawling over 5 burrows, as such its laws are likely to be very complicated with thousands of statutes that have nothing to do with the rest of the state, maybe I’m off but I figure the laws of that municipality and its subordinate communities would be on the state wide bar exam

          Edit: obviously LA, SF, & SD are huge too but they aren’t quite as old and not nearly as complex

            But like where is that specific caveat mentioned? I’ve never heard that even though in theory it could be correct.

              Not sure what you mean by caveat in this instance, I’ve heard from various sources in media and life that both of those bar exams are insanely tough. I was just pointing out that no other state is even in the ball park of those two, but if NYC weren’t part of New York, California would be all alone at the top of difficulty

              Edit: New York is not a complicated or particularly populous state without NYC and its metro

      Idk if that’s a badge of honor. Maybe their laws are just more convoluted and hard to understand lol
