Hi everyone!

I am an Australian Lawyer and thinking of studying for the July New York bar exam, and looking for study buddies to help me avoid insanity and share the load!

Over June/July 2019, I am of thinking of taking 2 months off work to study for it on a remote European beach somewhere ... any takers?

Hello all,
Just wondering if there is any WhatsApp group for This group yet! I believe it would be much easier to communicate, share thoughts . If not please let me know if there’s anyone likes this idea. The bar exam is torture me with IIED.

Hi all

I'm an Australian lawyer looking to sit the NY bar in July 2019, and have signed up to the Themis LLM advantage program.

Has anyone received an email to sign up for a testing location yet?

[tangenisi]

Not yet and I was starting to freak out. Glad it is not just me. Waiting to get the email re the testing locations. Hopefully by tomorrow.

I was thinking the same thing. Have any new tester takers, NY schools, gotten theirs? Everyone else will get theirs the next day. That would be helpful to know.

I heard that first time graduates from NY schools got the email today, so everyone else will likely receive the email within the next two days.

Also a foreign lawyer here, JD in 1998, US Ll.M. (Georgetown) in 2007. Stayed home with kids until 2011, and now working as corporate paralegal. Not really much exposure to US substantive or procedural laws.

I'm taking the NY bar in Feb 2019. I work full-time, also have have 2 grade school kids who go to swim meets twice a month. I signed up with BarMax 2 weeks ago, just finished CivPro and now on Crimes. I chose BarMax because I know I won't be able to keep up with more voluminous materials and strict review schedules, and I will freak out if I can't keep up.

Planning to supplement with leansheets after I finish all subject, and Seperac issue spotting for essays closer to the exams.

I'm in the US right now, anyone wants to exchange info for emails and stuff, I'm open to that.

Was lucky to open the email almost immediately and got NYC. No white plains though - assuming it’s handwriting only?

[tangenisi]

I was also lucky to open within the first few minutes and got NYC (Armory). Now to get on with studying!!!! This better be worth it

Lola, where are you coming from? Also, WP is not always offered in February and sometimes that is a handwriting only location.

Lane and lola, I worked in Albany for a time and took the bar there, if you have questions

I am a non-US applicant thinking of taking the bar in July 2019. Any tips are welcome! Currently looking for some others based in the UK to form a study group with. Still deciding which Bar Prep to use, suggestions will be helpful!

Where in the UK are you based? I am based in London and aiming to sit NY bar exam in Jul 19.

Hi! I am based in London as well, and planning to take the Jul 10 exam as well. To everyone on this thread, what bar review course are you recommending other than themis? I work full time and therefore will need to start studying much earlier. Contact me on my email (shengeh@gmail.com) or on whatsapp +447831132808.

Hi, thanks for replying to my post. I'm not going to sit NY bar this July as I'm going to do the LLM instead.
