For
a
long
time,
the
bar
exam
seemed
like
the
nasty
habit
that
the
legal
profession
just
couldn’t
quit.
But
there’s
finally
some
progress
on
that
front,
with
Utah
unveiling
a
new
alternative
pathway
to
licensure
that
values
experience
and
the
skills
that
an
actual
practitioner
needs.
We
also
check
in
on
Cadwalader,
where
the
firm
brings
on
a
new
co-manager
while
taking
some
serious
blows
in
the
lateral
market.
Finally,
the
Supreme
Court
is
back
in
session,
so
we
look
back
at
the
summer
of
shadows,
when
the
Court’s
shadow
docket
finally
crashed
into
the
reality
of
a
president
unwilling
to
play
the
game
and
Justice
Thomas
shed
a
little
light
on
his
decision
to
bail
on
teaching
his
class
after
Dobbs.
