Why People Flunk the Bar?

It is said that one should have the three Ls to become a lawyer Logic, Language and
Law. The first two Ls are supposed to be in ones arsenal even before entering law school,
while the third L is learned in law school. Most of the reasons for flunking the ar !"ams are
related to these three Ls. #eople who flunk have problems in one, in two or in all the three Ls.
Logic problems come out in terms of misappreciation of the facts and the issues, poor
analysis, faulty reasoning, un$ustified conclusions, and the like. Language problems come in the
form of grammatical errors, poorly structured sentences, misspelled words, and poor written
communication skills. Law problems come in the form of ignorance of the law or legal principles
implicated by the %uestions, poor understanding of the law, obsolete legal knowledge, and not
knowing how to apply the law to the facts of the problem.
&ther reasons are illegible handwriting, inade%uate preparations, health problems, and
sometimes even emotional problems.
