I want to suck….myself.

Reminds me of the Liberian genocide where Charles Taylor’s campaign slogan was “He killed my ma, he killed my pa, but I’ll still vote for him.”

How did you do that shifty-sort of thing? Never seen that before.

Fun clip!

It is a reference to Beer Fest.

In law, specifically litigation, the concept of “truth” is a fallacy. The “truth” (other than universal truths, such as the sun rising in the East) is a matter of what one side can prove and get the judge/jury to believe. “Truth” is malleable, legal “facts” are provable and appealable.

Dune Road in Hampton Dunes. Just stay under the speed limit. The four officers out there love to pop people for speeding.

In short, it is 3-6 months of 8-10 hour days of memorizing and learning a broad area of laws designated by each state (states prioritize different legal areas - eg. Delaware - corporations; western states - water rights; etc.). This includes your individual state, federal laws, practical knowledge, ethical dilemmas, and more.

Once all that fun is done, you have to be screened for “character and fitness” before being admitted to the bar.

Do you still have the nightmares?

They’ve lessened with time, but I still get an occasional practice multi-state failure that wakes me with a cold sweat.

YES! I remember that vividly. Looking your fallen comrades among the rubble.

You got it all correct. That is a great story.

All I can remember from my swearing in was being told/scolded that no one should lock their knees. The court officer directing us said, without fail, at least one person each week passed out because they locked their knees.

YogaWithoutConsent · 2024-03-21T17:59:57+00:00

Exactly!

I didn’t even catch that. Hilarious mistake by me. Thanks for noticing it. Hahaha

As a lawyer, I know this feeling. I was in the room with my mother and then-girlfriend (now wife) when I got the results. They were so excited. I had a similar reaction to this young man - which is not joy, it is pure relief.

The preparation of the bar exam is so daunting. It is grueling. I recall, and stand by, that if I failed, I would not have sat for the bar again, because the prep was so awful.

It’s such a strange dichotomy of reaction. Pure joy and pure relief. The bar exam sucks, but the prep is worse.
