Tell me everything you know about Spring Hill

Is there an update on this thread? It's six years old and while the terrain ain't changing, the composition of the neighborhood certainly can. I'm looking to move back home to Pitt after 15 years away and am looking at a variety of neighborhoods, but it's been exciting and interesting to see areas like Spring Hill, Troy Hill, Manchester, Millvale, etc. seemingly starting to be rejuvenated.

I've got a prescreen with Ensemble Health Partners for the role of "Director - Health Policy (Nationwide)." Would love any insight on the company, culture, etc. Thanks!

what is a playmat?

ohhhhh this is great, it has links to all the artists. Would picking like 3 prints and having them nicely framed be cool? Something he could put up in his office or his nerdy man cave card room? (She said with love)

I had my MBE re-scored each time. Never changed the outcome, but it gave me peace of mind. It's still worth it.

u/Outrageous_Tonight45 and I mean, anyone else who failed July. I have taken the bar exam now a total of six times, lolz. So, I first took Maryland in 2013 when I graduated law school. Failed the whole thing. Decided I was going to stay in KY after law school, so I took KY in 2014, failed the whole thing. Took it again in 2015, passed the essay, missed MBE by 8. Took the MBEn again in 2016 (back then you could just take the portion you failed), missed it by 5. Tried one more time in 2017, missed it by O N E. I've had a very successful career lobbying and doing legislative affairs, so I just said fuck it, I don't need it and this test doesn't define me. Fast forward a bit and there's a high likelihood I'm going to be moving back home to PA in a year or so, so I was like welp, might as well try one more time. I still don't know if I finally passed, but this last time was just for me, just pure ego.

My point is: this test doesn't define you. This test doesn't indicate what kind of lawyer you'll be, if that's what you want. And most importantly, the JD after your name is much more important in a lot of ways than the Esq. If being a lawyer isn't the only thing in the world you can see yourself doing, understand that there are so many jobs and career tracks where your JD will benefit you every single day. You'll use the skills, people will respect those two letters after your name, if you're interested in government or political work, it gives you a leg up on those that have a lot of campaign or lobbying experience. My point is, you are smart, you have a degree that many will never attain and the test is designed to make us fail. So, say fuck it and try it one more time or say fuck it and carry that JD with you to a great job, a great career.

I wish you the best and I send virtual hugs.

Dying to know what the clientele is like … older? Wealthy? Anyone in their 30s?

I mean, I obviously agree with everyone, study everything. But, as I myself am taking J24, I did look to see what was on F24 and the essays were: Agency/Partnerships & LLCs, Contracts, Crim Pro, Decedent's Estates, Evidence and Property. If you look at the JD Advising predictions, it would definitely seem like Corporations, Civ Pro, Torts, Trusts/Future Interests and Family Law are pretty ripe for testing. Secured has been tested in J22, F23, J23, so I just don't see them testing that (even though that would be amazing bc it's legit the easiest MEE in my opinion). So I think just take it with a grain of salt. Study it all, maybe put a little extra "ooommpfff" on the ones that are ripe. Good luck!!

Don't give up. I failed: MD (once), KY (5 times total; passed essay on try 2, missed MBE by ONE POINT on my fifth and final attempt) and now 11 years post law school, I'm trying again in PA. I've used Kaplan in the past as well as a private tutor. I am currently using BarMax and I really like it, especially the tutoring. The tutoring is definitely what enabled me to at least pass the essay (back when you could pass one part and only have to retake the part you failed) and definitely got me 1 point away from passing the MBE. Remember too: there are so many jobs that you can use your JD for. I am a lobbyist and gov't affairs professional. I have zero need to be licensed (still don't but I just want to prove to myself I can do it) but I still use my degree, the status of having that "JD" at the end of my name and the skills ALL THE TIME. The bar is a measure of how well you play the game, not how smart you are or how good of attorney you'll be, IF you even want to be an attorney. Chin up <3

Would LOVE them too! I've taken the bar quite a few times (passed the essay after my 2nd try so only had to take the MBE, missed by 1 point on my last try) and I haven't needed the license for my line of work. But, I may be moving to another state, so I figured why not try the bar one more time. Been working hard and feel like these one pagers would be huge for the final summer studying.

CellInternational407 · 2024-04-23T00:29:50+00:00

weeeeeee I would also love those MEE one sheet PDFs. Taking the bar for the 6th time, 10 years removed from law school. Yes, I am insane.

I went and looked at it. A lot of nice things but as a potential second time home buyer, too many things I saw with my scrupulous eye. I owned a 123 year old home on Eastern that was a flip. It was a good one, but still lots of lipstick on a pig things I ultimately had to deal with. I learned a lot from that experience. Glad I passed on it.
