This question is for Paul. Why such the "hard on" for Cal Southern? Btw, why do you continue
to berate others ability to complete research when you continue to write like a 4th grader?
Check your spelling dude! To all you Law School bone heads. In my profession of Psychology
it often take 3-5 times to pass our State Boards and inmost professional State boards this is
the case.. Buddies I know with Law Degrees from Berk and USC it took them 3-7 times to pass
Law Boards. Some never pass boards no matter where the went to school. I know 2 in my class
from UCLA who gave up on passing Psychology boards and went into teaching. So what is the
real issue here you bone heads!
