July 2015 California Bar Exam Forum

[melissaraffalow]

I drafted a Buzzfeed article to entertain (and hopefully lead to "edutainment" to) those who will have not passed.

Are you guys interested in taking a look to make sure it's not in poor taste toward people who will see this on or after Saturday morning?

One law school acquaintance boasted on facebook after each bar he passed (four). Like, "three down one to go, bewm! #barsareeasy" or some shit. Must be nice.

Was this guy a gunner or just a boastful fucktwit? Fucking, gunners...

He was not a gunner, he was a jersey shore reject med school dropout obsessed with being a professional in order to brag and make money only.

Same with the guy I dated. Constantly reminding us he went to a Forbes top 15 school and how we were UC public school minions. We all graduated in May 14, he took July 14. Too arrogant to do practice essays, not one PT. He was 100% sure he passed, guess what? Ran around claiming he failed by 6 points and blamed the bar graders. He is good at MBEs that's it, his writing is as disjointed as his thinking. Lowest score was 50 on the crim pro essay, must have stung since he was an intern for the DA. That's why he sabotaged my Feb prep...bad karma is not something I'd want in my life.

Thank god that Karma has a way of Holm-kicking people in the head...

Dreamt I failed.

It was all a dream.

I used to read word up magazine

You can keep the Heavy D but I'll take the limousine.

Should we expect a lag when logging in?

Should we expect a lag when logging in?

A few seconds based on my experiences.

However, those few seconds will be pure agony, and you'll feel each molecule of adrenaline bumping through your body in bullet time, like the instant moment of contact between two expert swordsmen (or swordswoman in this day and age).

Looking forward to it!

Should we expect the site to go down for 5-10 minutes? God I can't take it anymore so nervous!

Nah it should be up and a bit laggy but nothing breaking

I wonder if in the pre-Internet days people got their results one by one by mail

My boss said that you used to be able to call in and a robot would tell you the news.

I was told they called in 'back in the day'

Speaking of which. I found an old Flemings graded essay book. Just to show how rare they test the takings clause, it was tested in 90 (very brief issue) 1992 very similar to ours, kicking myself missing comprehensive plan. A graded 70 got 10th Amend, Zoning, non-conforming use, comprehensive plan, variance, PDP, EPC, 5th Amend discussion (zero regulatory Penn Central on this graded essay) so to those worried, this one passed with 4 handwritten pages with issues many here discussed. Then Feb 2010 it was tested.

I heard that in 2,000 years, an actual robot will come and tell you the news personally. It will then either console you, or party with you.

Welp, the next 5 hours and 43 minutes just got that much more agonizing.

I went to law school in MA and a lot of my classmates sat for the Mass bar. I don't know if they changed it, but used to be via mail only so some people got their results one day, while others would have to wait depending on location/post office. Every day I'd see different Facebook updates. That seems cruel.

I hope they tailor the futuristic robots based on gender and orientation, and in 2,000 years no one will know what "genderfluidity" is.

Man I was super prepared on all things Constitutional Law and I cannot imagine having f*cked up an essay more. Pretty sure I discussed none of those other than quick comments about variance, pdp and epc... and I made my whole essay bout Penn Central. 10th amendment duh omg.

Oh ok, yeah I went into depth on that, I just forgot it was the 5th amendment. Everyone knows that 5th is Miranda, why do they have to throw freaking takings in the same amendment. I got so many amendments, but all I plead is the fif'.

Why are you guys doing this to yourselves...Stop talking about essays 5 hours before, grab a drink, and try to relax with spirits and in spirit with gaagoots

[Notorious RBG]

The fifth amendment is bullshit, I always forget which others are incorporated through the fifth vs. the fourteenth and I hate that they bother making you know that.

I had a particular problem with issue-spotting con law questions and really drilled into my head not to forget 10th amendment on state law issues. FML
