LA Times - June 1 1998.
In California, more than 600 soon-to-be lawyers were taking the State Bar
exams in the Pasadena Convention Center when a 50 year old man taking the
test suffered a heart attack. Only two of the 600 test takers, John Leslie
and Eunice Morgan, stopped to help the man. They administered CPR until
paramedics arrived, then resumed taking the exam. Citing policy,the test
supervisor refused to allow the two additional time to make up for the
40 minutes they spent helping the victim. Jerome Braun, the state Bar's
senior executive for admissions, backed the decision stating "If these
two want to be lawyers, they should learn a lesson about priorities." |
