Communicating with public and school personnel is not the same as passing a test.

As a lawyer, you will be responsible for all of the law.  You don't really know at this point 
what you will need to know.  A case can take you in many directions, and you need to know 
at least enough about other areas of law to know when there's a problem and refer the client 
to someone who knows more.
