Legal group looks at dropping bar exam

Avrum D. Lank reports in the business section of today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on President Steve Levine's proposals of bar exams for everybody or nobody and also for a referendum on eliminating mandatory membership in the State Bar.

Holding such a referendum would require the approval of the Bar's Board of Governors. Its executive committee has asked for a report on the possible financial impact of a voluntary bar before considering the matter, Levine said.
