It's more concerning to have a C&F interview. I had one and it went fine, but it was because certain things were on my C&F application that were not on my law school application. It gives you a chance to explain yourself and a chance for them to make sure you're not a terrible person.

I had something important to do for work this morning that I thankfully finished on time. It was nice to have something to take my mind off the bar. Now that that's done though I have been extremely unproductive.

I'm thinking that we'll know by this time tomorrow. We should be out of our misery soon and back to our old, productive selves!

I've been the least productive worker for the past 2 days. I can only imagine I'll be worse tomorrow.

No certification letter here, but no interview either. My previous employer still hasn't verified my employment so I'm hoping that's the only holdup... But it just gives me an extra thing to worry about.

I'm in the same boat as you... I haven't gotten a letter or an interview... Hoping there's no correlation

I think I will actually die if they pull some shit and don't release them tomorrow. Or if they release them and the site goes down (like Indiana this year!)

I am already so anxious, I can not imagine having to go through the whole day tomorrow without receiving my results. I would die.

Luckily, we will likely know by early morning if they will post. In the past, they've posted around 8:30-45 AM that results were going out that day. I would think that they would continue the tradition.

Just created an account, first time ever posting on TLS.

Just remember--you're all the type of people who will read/post on TLS. I'm guessing a very small part of the 25% that failed the IL Bar Exam are obsessed enough to read this feed.

Last year they were around 10ish. And I knew people who passed and got theirs around noon last year too.

Re: C&F Letter

This afternoon (9/30) I received a C&F letter from IBAB: "...your application has been recommended for certification by the Committee on Character and Fitness...you are under a continuing duty to report...if you do not take your oath within nine months from the date of your recommendation for certification by the Committee on Character and Fitness" you need to be re-certified and pay a new fee.

Is this the letter y'all are speaking of?
