Waiting for Bar Exam Results

Waiting for Bar Exam Results


"x x x.

Many law students take a significant risk when they take the bar exam. The most recent bar exam results released in Louisiana (February 2011) show that only 54% of the nearly 400 test takers passed. Three years of law school. Three figures of thousands in debt. Three days of essay exams. Only to learn, based on thehumorous name the bar examiners have assigned, that you’ve failed. (How could Obi Wan fail?!) In California, where unaccredited law schools abound, only 42% of the first-time bar exam takers passed last February. Repeat takers fared worse: nearly two thirds failed, after waiting three months for the news. That’s an incredible risk after incredible investment of time and, likely, money.
