"I saw Minos the Space Judge holding a golden sceptre and passing sentence upon the Martians. There he presided, and around him the noble Space Prosecutors sought the firm justice of space law."
My Minnesota bar number is much, much higher than my California bar number which makes no sense. Like 100,000 more.

THE TAXES! THE FINGER THING MEANS THE TAXES!

I have one the first five digit bar numbers. Old timer guards at the jail don't believe that I'm an attorney when I call because lawyers have four digit numbers.

Alaska's bar number is yy and mm of admission then where you are alphabetically for that test. So 1507xxx and 1511xxx are the two '15 batches, for instance.

This is important because it makes it easy to figure out who failed the bar and how many times. I recently saw a 2013 grad with a 1511 bar number and judged him harshly for it.

In my second or third week of law school, the torts professor cold called a girl, and someone was like "she dropped out to go back to teaching".

We all had a hearty chuckle but in the end she was the wisest of us all...



Although someone I went to law school with is now a city councilor so I guess you can make it work for you if you try

He does share a name with a famous bridge in Boston though so maybe he's connected I don't know he seemed nice but I never really talked to the guy

Yeah, that bridge is named after his dad. I don't think it was the NU degree that did it.

I got an MA in asking leading questions about how sexism isnt real, and regularly fail to grasp that other people have different experience than me or enjoy different things.
I also own multiple fedoras, to go with my leather dusters, and racist pin badges.

Saw a quote somewhere online a while back, very fitting

quote:

Poor grades through high school. Poor grades in undergrad. Poor grades in my masters program. Poor grades in law school. But you know what they call the person who passed the bar with the lowest score? An attorney.

Depends on where you live and who you know. But if you're a well off kid from a small county you return to with a law degree, yeah.
It isn't much different in bog places, you just gotta be richer/know more people.

At my school at least 2 professors are paid more than the Dean.

It can't be that many people, but you could probably figure it out by assuming people reuse the same fictitious name each time.
