Seems he failed at this point rather big time. well I thought that a big part of being a lawyer was to set aside your own personal beliefs in furtherance of the law and the best efforts in defending one’s client (within the law).

Ridiculously high damages request. Seems to me, exam or not, this guy IS a lawyer. Frivolous lawsuit that will probably be thrown out of court ten seconds after a judge gets his hands on it.

I didn't know I could get out of having to answer these questions simply because I believe both activities are immoral.

No mention of what mail order "prestigious Boston law school" Mr Dunne (fitting description of his future law career) matriculated, making it difficult to learn just how far down the food chain he was on graduation day. Don't you know he's making some Dean very proud right now. Fitting punishment would be to suggest to Judge Pearson that Mr. Dunne is the real perp who waylaid his pants. “scoring 268.866 on the exam, just shy of the 270 passing grade”
