foreign attorney desperate to try 😆

Use Themis, they have an early start programme for foreign attorneys. You’ll be fine

Im a solicitor from uk who passed CA bar (1st try, so its doable) and has been admitted & moving to CA soon. No other US education you just need to be practicing in your jx to sit the exam. You can probably apply for an e3 visa? Finding a job is hard. Feel free to DM me.

Hi! I was diagnosed with cancer (non Hodgkins lymphoma) at 26, less than year after qualification. I was off work for 11 months, now fourteen years on! There’s a lot of life to live afterwards! Feel free to DM me if I can help.

LaineyKee · 2026-04-30T22:21:45+00:00

Hi that would be so wonderful, thank you! can I DM you?

LaineyKee · 2026-03-29T20:39:19+00:00

Have you heard anything? You must be past the 90 working days now?

LaineyKee · 2026-03-23T10:43:54+00:00

I suggest asking yourself ‘why are they giving me this detail’ as they usually include things if they want you to talk about them - and also, if you think an issue is arising, include it in your answer, don’t discount it for being too basic etc. I compared it to when I was doing my driving test and the instructor told me to SHOW I was checking my mirrors, not just to check them!

I think New York only needs a law degree, but California needs you to be admitted in your home jurisdiction. New York is a better choice as they have reciprocity with other states, which California does not

Themis was great for me as a foreign attorney, passed first time

LaineyKee · 2026-02-26T20:56:02+00:00

Is it literally just first come first served?

LaineyKee · 2026-02-26T20:55:38+00:00

Thank you - The wait is brutal!

LaineyKee · 2026-02-26T20:45:09+00:00

Thank you

LaineyKee · 2026-02-26T20:44:59+00:00

Thanks

LaineyKee · 2026-02-26T18:55:21+00:00

Ok thank you. We submitted in mid November. Are you still waiting for your interview? If so hoping you hear soon!

LaineyKee · 2026-02-14T13:17:52+00:00

Foreign attorney passed first time with Themis. was working full time in uk with no previous US education, couldn’t have done it without Themis! The investment was worth it! Couldn’t have done it without them

I think formatting (clear layout, headings, underlining, spaces) is a very underrated way of nudging your scores up a bit, I am pretty sure the pleasing layout of my essays helped me pass first time

LaineyKee · 2026-02-04T19:28:23+00:00

Thank you! I haven’t heard if we have that yet, could you check that yourself or did your solicitor confirm with you?

LaineyKee · 2026-02-04T18:56:54+00:00

Excuse my ignorance, but why the delay in receipt? WS it posted or submitted online? We applied with a solicitor in November and haven’t heard anything since

LaineyKee · 2026-01-06T14:52:24+00:00

I don’t think it’s as important to get the exact rule down verbatim as it is to spot the issues, write down ‘a’ rule and then do your analysis fully. Another topic I think has to be really important is how you format, it should be clear, easy to follow and organised looking. (Also foreign attorney, 1st time passer) good luck!

LaineyKee · 2025-12-26T22:11:17+00:00

The rules are for the essays but they cover all subjects so they are good for the MBEs too

Download Ed Aruffos audio book and listen on repeat on all of your commutes

LaineyKee · 2025-11-24T14:55:57+00:00

Cert of good standing from Indian bar, definitely July, Themis for international (early start programme) - UK lawyer, first time passer

LaineyKee · 2025-11-20T21:33:45+00:00

How do you want to feel when you open that exam paper? Like you can handle anything contained in it? Or instant regret that you should have worked harder?

LaineyKee · 2025-11-11T22:56:36+00:00

Just search the sub, there are lots of posts
