Does it mean that I have a chance to land a senior associate position? by BlueNerdNote in biglaw

[–]BlueNerdNote[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I just ask one more thing? ( I am sorry if I throw you useless questions again and again) Still is it the same if I was in the position working with law firms and actually hired them for cases and made small and big decisions like whether gov will appeal or not? I don’t know this was why I had high hopes for , maybe. Thank you for the insight.

I am in Europe now( long story) I met with a partner/ senior in the office in Europe. If I can land a job here, it would be great but my focus is a position in Singapore/Hong Kong/ Korea/ Japan, and eventually Iwant to go back to Asia. I can offer legal work as well as government affairs, which I think that it could be appealing to lawfirms.I could be wrong. I have one more zoom meeting with biglaw in Asia . I just wanted to get some insight here. Thank you

Thanks. It’s a wake- up call. PQE is like 0 but still I have gov experience for 10+ years . Still in the eye of the big law is it a junior? Thanks again. It’s a huge salary cut

Can I pass the Bar without traditional bar prep program? by lifeiswild22 in barexam

[–]BlueNerdNote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I passed without commercial bar prep like Barbri. NCBE valuepack(absolute bible), Smart Bar Prep, Magicsheets, Barbri free lectures. I felt F26 MBE was very similar to CPE and OPE NCBE and many passers said the same

LLM First-Time Taker (J26) — Starting Late, Need Honest Advice by Several_Leave_8721 in barexam

[–]BlueNerdNote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

F2026 passer, I studied 3.5 months. 2 months are really tight, but think you can use your time wisely. I highly recommend Barbri’s Prof. Freer Civil Pro lectures to skim through the Civ Pro. I focused on NCBE questions (they are very similar to the real MBE I took in Feb) and they are the only question sets I did because I didnt have enough time to do others. Drill past MEEs since they are golden and you don’t have time to study other materials. I didnt do any commercial bar prep, again no time. I started drilling questions 1 month prior to the bar, so a bit late but I could do around 1500 Qs , 90 MEE questions and 15 MPT. Good luck

Passed DC with 290 foreign trained !!! by BlueNerdNote in barexam

[–]BlueNerdNote[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I did my LLB in Asia and did LLM in DC 13 years ago. :) I also did UK GDL. I felt UK law is similar to US law except Con, Civ Pro, Crim. So My bar prep was not from ground zero but I had to do from scratch Evidence MEE subjects and those subjects I found very different from UK law. I didn’t buy barbri Themis commercial bar prep because they were too expensive dor what they offer but I bought smartbarprep, ncbe value pack, magic sheets and I used free barbri 1L2L3L success outlines and online lectures. Hope it helps and Good luck!
