If you look at first time taker from ABA schools the numbers are much better. But both of those are high on the list. Bar difficulty is overrated though - “don’t be bottom 30%” is something most of us can aspire to.

I would actually prefer to go in blind, as opposed to battling against a bunch of hyper-focused shitlords who got to prepare specifically for those subjects while I was stuck at work or having a wife or something.

Book chat: I'm finishing up the 3rd mars book (red/green/blue) and it's really funny how topical it is to climate change. If the books are even halfway accurate, and they appear to be, I know all sorts of ways to heat up Earth. Oh and the west Antarctica ice sheet scares me way worse

So our client could literally be out over a million dollars because loving Dolores in Butler County doesn’t like your tie, and then I gotta redo 1000 pages of property exhibits to be 12 point font instead of 11. Also I’ve been to rural Pennsylvania and it might as well be West Virginia.

 Netflix so gently caress knows if we even have the same content but I found Clown pretty weird and unnerving. Otherwise yeah, Hill House is good. I'm also a sucker for the classics and The Exorcist is one of my favourites of all time. Not entirely horror but The Endless was also entirely brilliant and well worth checking out, imo.Musical theatre and horror are basically what I live for, so naturally I'm pretty excited by the trailer for Cats.

Thread question time! I am trying to identify some examples of legal analytics services, especially those with proprietary data. I'm having trouble distinguishing between companies with an actual market presence and ones that are three people in a garage spamming ads about their basic legal research/writing startup. Do any of you know the names of/make use of some of these companies?

More info on the CA Bar Exam leak: http://www.calbar.ca.gov/About-Us/News-Events/News-Releases/statement-on-july-2019-bar-exam-release-of-general-topics They include a FAQ with enough details to convince me that the leak resulted from gross incompetence rather than something shady. Anyway, there's a solid chance that anyone taking who isn't in the most recent graduating class in a CA school won't even see this info at all. They're all completely hosed.

A friend of mine works with someone who hadn't even heard. She informed her coworker, today, about the leaked subject details. Her coworker is effectively crippled because she has half as much time to use this info as the people who heard instantly. Cool stuff. Extremely fair.

It amazes me they didn't have a second set either. Cancelling this test without an immediate re-administer would be a bad move for a lot of recent grads who are already stretched thin waiting for administration and results so they can find more work.

I mean, five essay topics ahead of time PLUS knowing what the multiple choice is going to cover for the state side would make life much easier.

Cancelling this test without an immediate re-administer would be a bad move for a lot of recent grads who are already stretched thin waiting for administration and results so they can find more work. It's all the state-specific topics over 5 essays and a 90 minute multiple choice. There really isn't a way to adopt another state's questions to test California law.

how many questions can you really have on california contract law, anyway like surely after about the fifth question someone's going to notice the pattern that the answer is always "it doesn't matter what the contract says, all that matters is what the extrinsic evidence says"?

Imagine if people that pass the this exam get looked down on by top firms down the line because they "didn't really pass the bar". Lawyers are sick enough to actually do something like that.
