I'll tell you anything that you like to know. Yeah I'm in SF and did pass.CourtneyElizabeth wrote:Tell me more, tell me more. You're up in the bay area right?? What tutor did you use? it helped, because you passed if I recall correctly??
Commercial prep courses just were not the way for me to understand how to conquer the test. The tutor, in the simplest sense, helped me realize that it's not really about knowing and understanding the law, it's about knowing and understanding the CA Bar exam (for which knowing a little law is of course needed) and he had the tools and methods that really allowed me to focus on what needed to be done and succeed.
But yeah let me know what you want to know.

Re: California Bar Exam (February 2014) thread
I am having no luck in the job market out here. I am also thinking about taking the NJ/PA bar in February. I have an uncle in Philly who wants to retire and is looking to let go of his practice. I really don't want to move back to the east coast but nothing good is going on here.
The though of bar prep is just so dreadful... my brain goes numb when I even consider it.

MURPH - Don't give up! You moved out here for a reason! It took me a while to find the job I found. When I pass the bar (being positive this time around) I'm PRAYING the company I work for now promotes me. Only needed a JD for the job I'm doing now...
Hang in there.

Re: California Bar Exam (February 2014) thread
that makes almost everyone here a failure because we failed the first time, which isn't even our fault because shit happens and who knows how many people just happened to pass
are you calling us failures
there's a new hope for you now
at least you're not a lurker or a shitposter like me

No, I'm making me. I went to three years of law school so I feel like I should be licensed. It's a personal thing, I guess. I'll end up taking it until I pass. ($9,974,023 later.....).

Message me their details. It's hard to find one when there's so many out there. If that makes sense.

Re: California Bar Exam (February 2014) thread
Thanks,
I got a job offer a couple hours after posting that. It is a one year fellowship public interest position with LAFLA, working with my fellow veterans. I accepted.
I am still considering the February bar exam.
It is funny how this works. I want to be a prosecutor but have been whining that no one is hiring entry level prosecutors. Then right after I accepted the position San Diego, SLO and the LA City attorney all posted entry level openings.

Any more tutor suggestions?

I did pass. I am thinking about taking it in NJ/PA where I grew up and may have more job opportunities.

Where are you located in CA? I would think that there are certain areas in Cal where there are good job opportunities. I lived in the PA/NJ area (Chalfont, PA) years ago for about 6 months. It was ok back then, but not sure what it is like now.MURPH wrote:I did pass. I am thinking about taking it in NJ/PA where I grew up and may have more job opportunities.

A lot of people I know have moved to the SD area (as have I). Bay area is too much of a clusterfuck.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
