Bias CLE 599 to 1

WELCOME
Welcome to the Bias CLE 599 to 1 weblog. Where does the name come from? Well, all Minnesota lawyers must complete two hours of "Elimination of Bias" continuing legal education within a three-year reporting period. The requirement is an attempt to promote certain views on controversial issues like affirmative action. Apologists for the requirement point to the 600 different courses that satisfy the requirement in a given reporting period. The problem is that only one or two of them are right of center, while none of them are apolitical or neutral on these issues. The ratio of 599 to 1 describes the ideological balance of the mandatory offerings.
