It’s not Mulan, but the other hot video release right now is the Texas Bar Exam’s procedures film prepping an unnamed bro applicant for the exam. Now that the Texas Supreme Court has casually abandoned all reason, they’re full steam ahead on their dollar store NBA bubble plan of holding the exam in-person within a hotel.
Meet our hero:
We’ll call him Norman out of some combination of Norman Bates for his authoritative shower opening skills and Norman, Oklahoma because that annoys Texans so much. Normie here is showing us everything an applicant must do before taking the test.
Does the entire minibar count as a personal item? Because we’re going to need a ruling on that.
This includes everything in the bathroom except “1 hand towel and 1 unwrapped bar of soap.” Hygiene is important!
Don’t do it dude, that’s how the Blair Witch gets you! I’m not sure why the proctors offer the casual Hitler salute but maybe that’s just a Texas thing.
Then the proctor will place a ziptie on the closet to ensure there’s no risk that the applicant can access their underwear during the test.
Whoa whoa whoa. I’ve already seen how this plays out.
Oh, that’s not what’s going on.
Or is it? By technological assistance they mostly mean “go to the bathroom” so it’s an apt symbol.
And then they’ll blow a whistle to end the exam and bring a conclusion to the thrill ride that was this video. Thank you all for joining me on this journey.
Check out the whole thing — which you have to watch on Youtube because the Board of Law Examiners disabled embeds… probably assuming this would deter Above the Law. No such luck!
