ethics update

I am slowly growing more ethical. But not yet so ethical that I could practice in Texas, which actually has the highest required minimum score* in the nation. Texas is one of several states that requires a score of 85% while many other states are satisfied with 75-80%. So when you hear people complain that lawyers are sleazebags, you can proudly state that in Texas, lawyers are 5% less sleazy than in most other states.

*I should clarify that the only state with a score higher than 85% is Utah, which for some reason requires 86%. But they just did that because they wanted to be different. Which, of course, they are. Dooce can tell you all about that.

So, did you feel ethical on Saturday? Or, are you thinking you're going to have to try to be ethical some Saturday in March? If so, you might be seeing me...
