#7 The exam "disproportionately and unnecessarily blocks marginalized groups from entering the practice of law" and is "at best minimally effective for ensuring competent lawyers," the Bar Licensure Task Force determined.

It has been established in US law that any process that has 'disproportional' outcomes when looked at by race is considered discriminatory even if there is no racial component. This includes graduating from high school which, once upon a time, was considered a minimum qualification for the job market.

#13 Mr. Finch, I see you are to represent the accused, do you wish to disclose your credentials?

Thank you for asking, your honor, and this time yes I do. I have three hundred thousand and change certified media followers; 75% of which are within 50 miles, the remainder 20% are within the state, and 5% monitor from other locations.

And if I may begin proceedings, your honor, you neglected to certify my pronouns, and present contempt charges.
