California’s lieutenant governor sent a letter to the state’s secretary of state on Wednesday asking her to explore "every legal option" to remove former President Don...
Same thing as them, common law for criminal law and civil code for the rest, it was a compromise that the British had to do in order to keep control of Quebec when it was given to them.
NYC is a really old and extremely populous municipality located within New York State sprawling over 5 burrows, as such its laws are likely to be very complicated with thousands of statutes that have nothing to do with the rest of the state, maybe I’m off but I figure the laws of that municipality and its subordinate communities would be on the state wide bar exam
Edit: obviously LA, SF, & SD are huge too but they aren’t quite as old and not nearly as complex
Not sure what you mean by caveat in this instance, I’ve heard from various sources in media and life that both of those bar exams are insanely tough. I was just pointing out that no other state is even in the ball park of those two, but if NYC weren’t part of New York, California would be all alone at the top of difficulty
Edit: New York is not a complicated or particularly populous state without NYC and its metro
It’s due to their population. It’s like 10 times bigger than most other states so there are a lot of competing interests. Also, California is the only contiguous state that encompasses its own geographic region that’s not shared with any other states. I don’t know that this complicates its laws necessarily, but it is just one more way in which it’s unique.
Get 'em California! Isn’t it true the California bar exam is the most difficult out of all 50 states?
Louisiana has a completely different type of law than the other 49 states, so I think it would be a good contender for difficult bar exam.

Didn’t know they work like Quebec, interesting!
Napoleonic law in Quebec? Did not know that!

In my opinion it’s a slightly better legal system than what we have. It just ends up being shitty because it’s Louisiana.
The only other state that I think even has a shot at that title would be New York and most of that difficulty is from NYC
What does NYC have anything to do with New York’s state bar exam?

But like where is that specific caveat mentioned? I’ve never heard that even though in theory it could be correct.

Idk if that’s a badge of honor. Maybe their laws are just more convoluted and hard to understand lol

Keeps folks like Alina Habba from popping up there… Jesus, she must have gotten her license out of a cereal box.
That’s its reputation, yes. Not sure if true.
