Bar Prep and working Firm Job Forum

[Lawworld19]

Working at a firm with 12 offices spread throughout my state. Was hired on last Monday. Taking the July bar. So far they have me working 8-6 minimum with no lunch breaks. Absolutely killing myself to complete the required assignments per day (Themis) and I started early. Anyone else in the same position?

Hey mate, I was working full time too and passed the Feb 2018 bar using Themis. I started in early Nov and had a good 4 months of study during evenings and weekends, and I ultimately achieved 100% course completion. When did you start studying? I found Themis really great for working full-time (also I'm a foreigner so I needed to learn US law from scratch), but I definitely needed the 4 months because otherwise I think it would've been too much.

I think you'll be ok but you'll basically have to spend every non-working moment studying, esp if you've only recently started.

I recommend checking out the Themis July 2018 thread as it's full of others in a similar boat to you.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. I am 32.8 percent done, so exactly a third!

Sounds like you're on track. Good luck!!

My guess would be you are barred in some other state and now working/prepping to pass the bar in your current state. If not, you're setting yourself up to fail.
