Reform is coming to the bar with particular authority in California. The state will soon begin experimenting with a program to weed out incompetents by having attorneys take periodic tests.

"Some of the older people who call give me hell when I tell them they can't go." Volunteers are carefully screened by psychologists and social workers to weed out drug users and cranks. "We want to make sure they are committed to the Jewish situation and social justice," says Naomi Seligman, a psychiatric social worker at Brooklyn Community Counseling Service.
