Albany is horrible! I agree. When I took it, some guy didn't drop his pencil immediately when they said it...he wrote for like 30 seconds more, they took his sheet and he got disqualified from the rest of the exam...they were really strict with that (no, it wasn't me ). I think I got admitted like 6 or 7 years ago...don't even remember exactly. Never practiced in New York. SamFisher, are you with a firm in Manhattan? T_J, you are correct, the exam is only administered twice a year. Failing it is not that much of a shame, really, pass rates (back then) were like 50 % in the winter and around 67 % in the summer...I think JFK jr. took it like 5 or 6 times until he passed. You can take it as often as you want.
Strange. Leave me alone. SJC - yes, manhattan. No more info or no telling what Encyclopedia Jorge will do with it. But yeah, I took that exam in the lobby of that theater building and stayed across the river at the Econo Lodge, and after the last day there was some chemical truck that overturned and I couldn't get across the bridge to the river, and ended up driving all across central NY for hours to get back. Utter misery. I know a chick who was smart, went to NYU and clerked on one of the Circuits, but has bombed the Cali bar 4 times. Unbelievable.
have i ever told my bar exam story?? i have? then shut up and listen to it again.. i graduated a semester early...so i took the February bar, which is held in pasadena. my wife was pregnant and had a march 12th due date. the bar exam was Feb 22-24. (tuesday - thursday). we decided that no matter what, i was taking this exam. it wasn't like missing a day of work..it would be like missing 6 months of work if i missed that test. so i got a motel room in pasadena and had my mother-in-law come down to take care of my wife, who was still teacing first grade at the time. my wife and i did not talk at all during the exam...not once. she's a horrible liar and would never have been able to conceal the fact she was going into labor...that, plus the screams that contractions can bring made it not a good idea. on wednesday of the bar exam (day 2) my wife goes to the doctor and the doctor says she better lay on the couch and not get up if she wants to wait until i get home before she has the baby. any minute now. so i get out of the test on thursday, get in the car and immediately call my wife to say, "am i a dad yet?" her response: "no, but you better hurry." the baby wasn't born until sunday, but it made the whole bar preparation thing seem a lifetime away...talk about a busy week!! yikes!
And in that week one soul was born....and another lost. Don't ya just love lawyer jokes Cool story Max.
that's classic!!! thanks, bnb. it was an interesting week, to say the least...culminated in what was easily the greatest moment of my life.
Very. He seems obsessed with liberals on this board. He hunts me down while searching other available males on Match.com and he claims to know your school and year you graduated. Very creepy. Maybe Clutch would be interested in this...
Yeah, I've let the school name slip a few times indirectly and he figured that one out. I don't know how he claims to have figured out the class year though. Weird.
I'll tell the story about passin' a bar *hic* but, frankly, I've never seen the point. Sam...I'd assume he's joking, but then I've made the mistake of thinking there's method to his madness before. And re: failing the NY bar, how many times did JFK Jr. swing and miss? Was it 4? 6? Max...I don't understand. That story paints you as a cold heartless b*stard who cares about nothing but his career...and yet you've always maintained that you're not a typical lawyer. What gives? (j/k)
Uh-huh-huh....MacBeth was right....you have all been flagged... MacBeth's coming-out is on file as well...
oh, i'm still a b*stard! i just decided if i was going to have a baby, it might be a good idea to be able to afford food and shelter for him!
God, you make a joke on the assumption that people are smart enough to get the inference, and the Germanic obsession with sexual orientation couples with a sledgehammer, quantity over quality wit to follow you for days ( literally).
Aaaah...so you're NOT a typical lawyer. A typical lawyer would have referenced the going rate on the white slave larket as a back-up plan...
we looked into it. turns out i do better using him as leverage with my wife for more discretionary income going towards pro sports tickets..."honey...going to these games was a bonding experience with my dad...don't you won't the same for me and my/your son??"
MacBeth...it's not a joke...they are after you...like a Rhinoceros stomping its feet and charging your ass...
Regardless of whether this is true or false, your "I'm a pathetic loser" stock is through the roof. I still say you should have been banned for the RM95 bit. Maybe the admins just feel sorry for you.
