It's bar exam day across this fair land of ours. On the East Coast, the agony has just begun; here out west, there's another hour or two of angst before the questions are opened and the long-awaited answering starts.

It's been 30 years since we underwent the ordeal ourselves. We still believe in the law, and in lawyers. Taking the test today are some people who will, during their careers, change the world for the better. Good luck to them.
