C & F on Bar

Post by Gifted Hands » Mon May 30, 2016 1:47 pm

Just how badly do you have to fuck up to be precluded from passing the c & f part of the bar? Anecdotes are encouraged.

In NY I have heard debt can be a problem? I am sort of worried because at graduation I will have lots of debt. Some credit, and a lot of health related stuff. Had a bad accident and had to max out some cards years back. Been making minimum payments, but I am late on a few things.

Just wondering how common it is to be refused admission because of that?

I have a friend with ridiculous amounts of debt, was behind in some, and passed c&f. I do not know how behind or if he got caught up. I don't know anyone who's been kept out for debt issues. I know people kept out for lying, DUIs, drug charges, 2 people with convictions that I don't know what they're for and someone who was suspended for 1 semester for plagiarism in law school.

A law school friend got popped trying to buy weed in law school. He got delayed a lot by NY bar, he is a 3rd year at a biglaw firm in NY and was just recently admitted judging by his profile (he was a law clerk forever, just recently switched over to associate).

You don't have to be admitted to the bar in order to clerk? For real?

Some firms give people who aren't yet admitted the title "law clerk" instead of associate, I think.

But no, you generally don't have to be admitted to clerk, unless your judge requires it.
