“a matter of conjecture whether the requirement of taking and passing a bar exam would actually exclude many lawyers having a serious desire”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Although there might seem to be no greater assurance regarding lawyers who move to [Wyoming] and are admitted without having to take a bar exam, they at least are making a greater commitment to the state. By becoming residents of [Wyoming] they place themselves in a situation where in all likelihood the bulk of their clients will be [Wyoming] clients; the bulk of the law they practice will be [Wyoming] law; and they will learn through doing.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Because Illinois has not barred nonresidents from practicing law, has not discriminated against residents in gross, and may not even have imposed a net burden on nonresidents compared to the small class of favored residents, Sectric has failed to make out a prima facie case under the privileges and immunities clause.”
