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.

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

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
