Sometimes I hate the fact that I'm a Lawyer:

Back in 1993 I watched The Firm and thought it was a great film. Yesterday I watched it again and saw a flaw which has been bugging me ever since. At the end the F.B.I. agent asks how the protagonist thought up mail fraud. Answer: "It was on the Bar exam."

Since when do States test for federal law? According to this page it's not one of the subjects on the Tennessee exam.

Another unfortunate encroachment of reality upon yet another perfectly enjoyable lawyer drama.
