3. The Bar. Read the text and guess the words. The number of “- ” is the number of omitted letters.
In a legal context “bar”has three possible meanings: the division of a court- - - - between its working and public areas; the process of qualifying to practice l- -; and the l - - - - profession.
In general, a candidate for the bar must graduate from a qualified law school and pass a written t- - - : the "b- - examination". Nearly all states use the Multistate Bar E- - - - - - - - -n, usually with additions for that state's laws. The candidate is then "admitted to the bar".
A l - - - - - whose license to practice law is revoked is said to be "dis - - - red."
Say what kind of people should be admitted to the bar/disbarred.
