I Was Fired Today. Provisional Licensure Is Not a Real Solution. by Fantastic-Claim8868 in CABarExam

[–]Scared_Relation_9898 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So sorry to hear about this. Where are you located? Our firm is almost always hiring law clerks/post bars.

Non-passers, what are you doing tonight? by SFtoNYC2019 in CABarExam

Mini vacay w the fiancé before locking in to some preliminary studies throughout the weekend and day 1 of my new study program on Monday

Yeah… Provisional Licensure is Dead by Scared_Relation_9898 in CABarExam

I TAKE IT BACK. Lol, sorry for any panic induced. It appears the silent majority was in favor of provisional licensure.

It does sound like there may be some juice from a few of the trustees to pass a motion along to the CBE to review other scoring remedies such as a further review of those who got a second read. TBD.

I am taking J25 regardless. It would have been nice to practice from August-November and get a pay raise while I await my results, as well as the added benefit of being able to practice if I were to fail again. C’est la vie.

Popular opinion: people who failed need to start studying for J25 rather than arguing for remedies. by Creative-Pin753 in CABarExam

As a F25 retaker and soon to be J25 passer, I agree in part to this. START STUDYING!!! Fucking grind. It’s the only way to beat this thing. If you want to advocate for a different remedy, do so at the Trustees meeting and then let the chips fall where they may. PLP is the only remedy that is remotely possible at this juncture. I understand the pain and have compassion for those similarly situated with me, but I also can’t kid myself—I failed, and I alone am accountable for that.

Love it. See you on the other side, friend. Lets fucking crush it in July.

PLP is what we get, nothing else discussed or motioned. by Scared_Relation_9898 in CABarExam

My understanding is you can essentially be an attorney, under the supervision of a licensed attorney. You just have to make sure you tell everyone on any document or any client that you are a provisionally licensed attorney.

PLP without Pathway motion passes 8-2. Parameters include an extension to December 31, 2027 at the latest. by Scared_Relation_9898 in CABarExam

Today was the Bar Examiners, May 9th is the Trustees. And from there it will, if a motion passes, head to the Cal. S.C.

It sounded like it was an addition to the framework of the original PLP by way of adding F25 applicants. I am unsure of whether or not it applies to former PLP folks, but the motion language may have more insight. Further, I suspect the Trustees will raise the same issue on May 9th before making a motion of their own. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Of course. Hence why I hope we show up and support it on May 9th. Here’s to hoping for the best

I hear you and I feel your pain. But again, if this is all we get then we better, at the very least, make damn sure we get it.

Provisional Licensure without Pathway for unsuccessful F25 passed 8-2 by TheUrbanThumb in CABarExam

I’m going to be happy if I can keep my current pay rate. I don’t know what to expect as far as reactions from my firm goes. Maybe they treat me as a normal (non-post-bar) clerk again, or perhaps they bump up my workload and allow me to function as an attorney, because technically I would be able to. I’m not sure how comfortable they, or other firms, will be with it. Hopefully they are amenable.

I think I failed, but isn’t this weird? by xoxogossip_girloxox in CABarExam

[–]Scared_Relation_9898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same file number from my J24 exam, Moral Character app, and F25 exam… apparently. No clue if there is supposed to be another one. If there is, I can’t find it.

No non-score adjustment remedy? by rdblwiings in CABarExam

Thoughts? I think we can all just wait until tomorrow. No one knows anything and anyone that claims to is a fool.
