Let's keep justice. Please report.

It's an old joke, but when a man argues against two beautiful ladies like this,

She spoke not elegantly, but with unmistakable clarity.

She said, I ask no favor for my sex.

All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet or for our ex.

I'm a man.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to a very special episode of Strix Grutney,

a podcast about the Supreme Court and the legal culture that surrounds it.

I'm Leah Litman, one of the hosts, and I am joined for this very special episode by a guest,

Dr. Pilar Escontrius.

Pilar is a graduate of the University of California Irvine School of Law.

She also has a PhD in anthropology from Northwestern, and for our purposes,

one of the most important aspects of her resume is that she's one of the co-founders of United

for Diploma Provelage, an organization that is trying to address what we think is

a major crisis facing the legal profession in how bar examinations are handling

So welcome to the show, Pilar.

Thank you, Professor, happy to be here.

We are a show about the Supreme Court and the legal culture that surrounds it,

and this episode is going to be focused in particular about one aspect of the legal culture,

the bar examination, which is a point of entry to the legal profession.
