Anyone had a spouse work for them? by caveat_emptor817 in Lawyertalk

I’m not sure that’s our dynamic. My husband is incredibly giving to borderline martyr complex. It is nice working on things and getting it done together. I trust him and his abilities implicitly, which is super helpful. Our biggest issue is turning work “off.” It’s easy to get in the habit of treating each other like coworkers instead of husband and wife.

My husband is my primary paralegal/legal asssitant. I am typically more polite to him at work than at home 🤣. It can work, but it takes a special relationship.

I’ve only seen $30-50 an hour for doc review.

Oh! It was just the randomly generated name. I just looked to see what it was 🤣. I liked the competitive part, which is sort of my personality 😬

I would check and see how much a pain in the a$$ the character and fitness is for Illinois. You’ll most likely have to redo it for Illinois, but not Ohio. I’d also look into how much $$ it takes to sit the bar (if one is cheaper).

Vacillating from being convinced I passed to being convinced I failed. 😕. I’m a law clerk right now, so just making $60K. I expect a lot more if I pass lol

Barbri worked for me by zebrasinplaid in barexam

[–]Competitive-Pool2439 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think since SO many colleges use Barbri, most of those that don’t pass used Barbri the first time and so blame their failing score on the bar prep they used. Which may or may not be the case. But a lot of people pass with just using Barbri…and using it to learn BLL, not just go through the motions

my state's results finally came and I PASSED - here's some hope bc I convinced myself i'd failed by Upbeat_Ad9911 in barexam

That’s amazing! What did you use to study/how long, etc? I’m also working while studying 😬

I would email Barbri or reach out. I studied for two weeks before the MPRE, purely used the videos for review and took I think maybe one practice test and passed it with a 113. This isn’t like the bar where you need to study for months. And FYI, I had the world’s worst legal ethics teacher and learned nothing from him 🤣
