      Racism of low expectations in action.

        I don't know how lowering the score by two questions will really help Delaware's diversity issue, but I can say that it's nice to see that Delaware is modernizing its process to be more like the other states.

        As a part of my firm's process of hiring and overseeing attorneys around the country, I can tell you that Delaware is a bitch to find available attorneys for employment. It only holds its bar exam once a year (and I don't think it's even held it the last couple years) and the population is so low. Also, it has a residency requirement for its lawyers meaning that if you want a Delaware licensed attorney for your multi-jurisdictional law firm, you have to find an attorney willing to live and work in Delaware.

        It took us months of advertising and interviews to find a suitable attorney in Delaware.

          Like we see with other places, many of which have been posted about here, they are lowering required test scores to get more minorities to pass.

          It's like how blacks needed 250 points less than whites and 300 points less than asians on their SATs to get into college.

            @raphjd That's kind of racist... This implies that different races or cultures are held to different standards, or that they are expected to learn and perform at different levels in order to qualify.

            IMO, the same standard should be held to everyone, regardless of any physical characteristics.
