If Law School Testing Were Like FEMA Testing

I drew the short straw at work and have been nominated to be the point person at work for the Emergency Operations Plan for our area in the university. As a result, I have to take training and be tested on FEMA's Incident Command System for Higher Education.

Sounds like a barrel of laughs, right?

Actually, the training consists of this: go to class, have instructor tell you the answer to the specific questions, go online for the test at FEMA, answer the specific questions while the instructor is still in the room to ask questions, get certificate.

Yep, if a Hurricane Katrina-esque catastrophy occurs on campus where I work, I will be fully trained by FEMA for a response. Are you feeling comforted yet? I wouldn't be based on that training.

If only law school testing were like FEMA testing: go to class, have law professor tell you the answer to the specific bar questions, go online to test for the bar exam, answer the specific questions while the law professor is still in the room to ask questions, get bar card / law license.

Granted, if the bar exam were representative of FEMA testing, I'd hate to see what our justice system would look like.
