Bar Exam & Vacation

Aug 10, 2011 15:42

Now that I have returned from the internet-less abyss, I figured I should post an update on my life over the past couple weeks. I took the bar exam in late July, which is broken down into two days. Day 1 is essays (12 - 30 minutes each). Day 2 is multiple choice (200 - 1.8 minutes each). The essays were harder, but I think I did well enough on ( Read more... )

I would be satisfied with a job. I actually don't ever see myself being the very high-priced private lawyer. I'll probably do some work in the public sector, and pro bono too. Down the line I'm considering becoming a judge. But that's way down the line. Right now I just want to get my foot in the door.

Yeah, I can understand why my description of Puerto Rico didn't excite you. It was probably one of the more high-stress vacations we've been on, between the crazy drivers and navigational issues.

Glad to be back, though I haven't written for an LJ prompt in at least a month. Maybe now that I'm done studying I'll get back into writing.

Good luck with your bar results!

I've been to Puerto Rico. It was San Juan & I spent a day & half there, but it was still cool! We did a lot of walking & the taxis are good too. I great time & it sounds like you did too! :D

Thanks. I'm not stressing too bad about the results, but I'll be worrying about them in the back of my mind until October. I liked San Juan too; it's a very compact little city with plenty to do. I forgot to mention that we went to Old San Juan and saw the Spanish forts there. The history major in me thought that was very cool.

You're welcome! And that's good!

*nods* Yeah. We went there too! It was an awesome place! There were families just hanging & having a great time there, which was truly nice! :D Sweet!

Good luck on your exam, I'm sure you did great! I was curious about Puerto Rico. I still think I want to see it but I'm holding out for the U.S. Virgin Islands first.

Thanks. That's what everyone says to me; I wish I could be that confident. Holding out for the Virgin Islands sounds like a good plan. I'm sure they would make a great vacation.

Good luck on your bar exam. I had no idea how I did on the Multi-State multiple choice at the time I took it since so many of them contained partially correct answers. We got our results in September, but then I was taking South Dakota's exam as an out-of-stater. (instate grads had diploma privilege at the time.
The essays dealt with South Dakota law. (I graduated from Nebraska so I had to bone up on unfamiliar precedent) We had to come back a month later to take the Multi State Ethics Exam.

Glad you enjoyed Puerto Rico. A vacation was just what you needed after the bar exam.

I didn't know you were an attorney. I guess I should look at the profiles of the people on my f-list. Nowadays you can satisfy the ethics requirement by taking a class in law school. The essays in Connecticut didn't really cover much state law; it was mostly federal.

I agree; a vacation was needed and much appreciated.
