My understanding is that Spitzer passed the Law School Admissions
Test with a perfect score. I have tried it once but score low; I
cannot understand the fictious test. Some people say that it
requires a special intellectual ability. In the British Empire our
Attorneys spend 7 years in High School. The final two they
specialize in four subjects. They are to be trained at London,
Cambridge, or Oxford Universities. Nevertheless, he was trapped as
a numbered Client.
A less smart guy would have gotten himself a descent lady
Friend across town. He would have paid her rent and groceries and
pocket money. She would show up at all his speeches, Sit in a
special place and give him the thumbs up, cross and uncross those
legs,etc. Four pricey calls to the madam is 20K. The special friend
would flip over, to receive 5K. Asking her how long that would last
she might say 3 months.
His scheme was so trivial that I wonder. I recall, the LSAT
test you do not have to know the passage but some logic and so on
would give you the answers. I believe that we should get rid of all
exams that test students' logic. Logic is unnecessary, when one has
knowlege. An Attorney needs simply to ask the witness or client the
question and use body language to catch lies. He could have lost
everything if the DA had pressed charges. Especially as he was a
fierce crime fighter.
