Jobs While Waiting for Bar Results - Help Forum

[jtx86]

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I graduated in December, took the bar in February, and have to wait for the results in May. What does one do between taking the bar exam and being admitted to practice?

I'm looking for answers from people who do not have a job lined up. In other words, I'm looking for answers from 80% of law school graduates.

I heard document review is a good idea but most require bar admission. Is being a paralegal appropriate?

Right now I am making $17/hr as an assistant to some crazy landlord. I do almost zero legally related work, but figured I'd stick to this gig until something better falls through

Ideas? Suggestions? Tips?

It sucks but you might want to look in to volunteering.

Better for the vale thread but . .

It sucks, you really cannot do a whole lot in my opinion. I applied for tons of jobs with no success because I had not passed the bar yet. You need to stick with that job, you wont get doc review because they do want admission, I was a clerk for a firm until passing
