  • ability to retake Illinois bar examination unlimited number of times makes court hearing and other procedures unnecessary
  • the fact that an examination technique may keep an “exceptionally qualified individual” from an occupation is not grounds for declaring it violative of due process
  • generally, grading decisions of examiners should not be reviewed by “super bar examiner”
