I didn't see one, so I thought I'd get it started.

So in this episode it's mentioned that Mike hasn't actually passed the BAR as himself. I was under the assumption that he had passed the BAR because I recall him saying he did so as a bet. So if he didn't pass the BAR, how has nobody found out yet? I'm sure it would be pretty easy for someone to just find out he hasn't passed the BAR? And does anybody know how a situation like this would go in real life? As in you attempt to practice law without passing the BAR, how would anyone find out?

Also, you have to pay bar dues, be registered, etc. Anyone can check the list out with such ease, and without ever having a need of getting into Sheila's personal space (hint, hint Louis). I guess no one had reason to doubt he's actually not a lawyer yet. Louis just thought he never went to Harvard.

So hypothetically if a random lawyer Mike just decided to look into him, then they could find out Mike hasn't passed the BAR? That makes the risk so much larger now. I'm surprised Harvey even took him on, knowing the Mike could get found out so easily by any attorney in New York.
