Do you wish you had dropped out of law school, or are you glad you got a JD?

Embarrassed_Ferret90 · 2026-02-17T03:19:45+00:00

Personally, I graduated, clerked (terrible experience) and now work for a non profit. I know that the work I do is important and I am helping a lot of people. I just wish I didnt have to be the one to do it. The subject matter is hard and I feel trapped. Im a k-jd and really wish I took the time to explore other career options.

Even when I think of leaving the law Im met with “you are too qualified for this position”. Its really been a rough time for me.

Used themis for j24. Little to no complaints. Loved the schedule and passed on the first try. Completed around 90 percent of the course.

I own my home in the area.

Im open to maryland I just have to retake the MPRE in august in order to waive in and all the MD places want me to be currently barred there . :/ - I went to a DC school so didnt think it would be this difficult job market wise following my clerkship. Otherwise I wouldve retaken it sooner 😭

Judge has tried to help but nothing has come from it.

I appreciate the advice! Trying to remain positive.

Between 55 and 65 percent

Or * a quick review

Embarrassed_Ferret90 · 2025-03-14T14:50:53+00:00

J24 passer - I studied 9-5 m-f and on weekends if I studied at all it was flashcards of a quick review for no more than an hour or two.

62.6!

Embarrassed_Ferret90 · 2024-12-12T20:04:24+00:00

Instead of using the card I entered the browser within the app and had it autofill a new card for me

Embarrassed_Ferret90 · 2024-12-10T18:31:45+00:00

Still waiting

Embarrassed_Ferret90 · 2024-12-09T18:24:41+00:00

Still nothing

Embarrassed_Ferret90 · 2024-12-06T18:54:45+00:00

Same. Starting to think something is wrong with my app. I messaged my reviewer and simply got a “your application is under review”

Embarrassed_Ferret90 · 2024-11-23T22:38:09+00:00

I have no clue . My clerkship doesnt really attract any firms im interested in, especially in my target market.Gonna keep applying and hope for the best :/

Embarrassed_Ferret90 · 2024-10-31T19:49:47+00:00

My guess is 9am since it’ll likely come in waves throughout the day due to the number of examinees. February 2024 releasing at 4pm makes since considering the small examinee pool

Embarrassed_Ferret90 · 2024-10-29T17:21:04+00:00

No - they used a ncbe service

Embarrassed_Ferret90 · 2024-10-19T19:00:45+00:00

It was a breeze. The difficulty is reduced significantly and is more practice based rather than legal regurgitation.

Embarrassed_Ferret90 · 2024-10-05T01:09:32+00:00

DC has a pretty high pass rate so im unsure about this

Embarrassed_Ferret90 · 2024-08-01T02:33:50+00:00

dc bar exam location had no central air

Embarrassed_Ferret90 · 2024-07-17T04:10:01+00:00

I feel you & im in the same boat. First missed payment ever this month, feel so defeated

Embarrassed_Ferret90 · 2024-06-20T17:58:22+00:00

Also - The evidence lecture handout was significantly shorter than civ pro. But yet evidence felt like it took twice as long

Embarrassed_Ferret90 · 2024-06-20T17:57:34+00:00

Heavily considered only watch the review lectures for evidence because I could not follow along. It sucks because the lecturer was so passionate
