Bad Alias:
The bar exams aren't really the problem. Mab was most likely admitted to practice before those were a common place thing. "Think about this, to become a lawyer, all Abraham Lincoln, our esteemed 16th president, was required by Illinois law to do was to 'obtain certificate procured from the court of an Illinois county certifying to the applicant's good moral character.'"
The problem is taking and certifying that she has taken the CLEs. Mab cannot falsely certify she has fulfilled her annual CLE requirements.
peregrine:
There's online CLE options as well, that Mab could easily do on her own time, or by paying only a bit of attention to while holding court or whatever.
Bad Alias:
Yeah, fifteen monitors (or something like that) going at once seems like the only way she could actually meet the requirements in a way that isn't just a waste of her time. I still wonder why she would even bother.

This came up recently because a friend of mine who is a manager had employees becoming disgruntled because they thought she just sat there in her office not doing anything. I don't know why they thought a big corporation would even have that position if it didn't involve doing anything, but hey, people are generally stupid.

I read a study a while back where paying one VP handsomely to visibly do SFA actually ends up worth it because the office drones think if they work harder, they could get there one day.

But it is good that managers do nothing because then they do not disturb the people who are doing the real work ;D
