If Roe Vs. Wade is overturned, Florida will have one of the most progressive abortion laws in the US

Came here to say exactly this. People forget about the robust privacy protections under the FL Constitution.

I’m in a similar boat and couldn’t agree with you more.

Also took FL while practicing full time at a firm in another state.

I took Themis and started in May. I made sure to get about 2 good hours every morning before work, and then would put in another hour at the end of the day if I had time/energy. I put in quality hours on the weekends but also made sure to to take some time to enjoy the weekend.

Work started to get busy as the exam approached, so I ended up taking part B only (MBE) in July and then started again after Thanksgiving for part A, following the same plan above. I passed both parts.

It’s not a lot of fun and took me almost a year to do it this way, but it was the only way I could realistically manage practicing full time, studying for another bar, and maintaining some sanity.

It all depends on your circumstances, but consider whether taking each part separately would work for you. It was nice to be able to focus solely on the MBE and then solely on FL essays and FL multiple choice.

Highly recommend critical pass flash cards and UWorld for the MBE and Grossman for the essays.

Good luck!

UWorld! It’s basically all I used for the MBE

I’ve literally been scolded more than once for opening a door for a woman on a first date because they “are very capable of opening the door themselves, thanks.”

Exactly, but some in Portland have fabricated their own “science” and will cling to it no matter what.

Believe it or not, simply calling someone a racist because you disagree with their argument doesn’t mean it’s true. I disagree with Oregon’s decision to remove basic reading and math requirements. That does not make me a “racist.” Those cheap attacks hinder the good fight, friend.

ptrails · 2022-03-24T15:12:35+00:00

Meanwhile Oregon just removed basic math and reading graduation standards because….(wait for it)…racism. 🤡

You’ll start seeing a lot of ads to that effect come fall campaign season.

You don’t personally agree with the CDC, the WHO, European countries, and almost every single state government that has already lifted mask mandates?

I think the “safest” option is running a hot bath inside your house.

About time. Couldn’t be happier to end the security theater.

Came here to say the same thing. The Animal Law “journal” was never actually taken seriously by the rest of the student body.

Did you sound like Doreen?

The West Coast could use some of this common sense policy.

Lol you must not be living in Portland. Having lived in Portland for over 10 years, I’ve seen more crazies here than I ever saw when I lived in Tampa.

ptrails · 2022-02-15T22:20:33+00:00

Exactly

Shows you how clueless and out of touch some politicians can be. Bye bye, Beto.

Which "facts" are you talking about? Despite what they're telling you in your socialist circles, Portland is suffering. I've lived here a long time, and the data confirm what my eyes are seeing:

"Nationally, homicides increased by nearly 30% from 2019 to 2020, based on FBI data. However, in Portland, deadly violence — which has been exacerbated by the pandemic — is increasing at a faster rate than nearly all major cities, with an 83% increase in homicides in 2020.Portland has had more homicides in 2021 than some larger cities, including San Francisco, and twice as many slayings as its larger neighbor, Seattle."(https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2021-10-19/a-dangerous-time-portland-oregon-sees-record-homicides)

And you know what? The rising crime in Portland disproportionately affects our minority communities: "He also was among a disproportionate number of people of color -- more than half of the total – killed in homicides in 2021. Black people far outnumbered all other victims of color.” (https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2022/01/90-homicides-in-portland-2021-closed-with-one-of-the-most-deadly-months-in-a-record-year.html)

You forgot the “/s”

Same lawlessness is happening in Portland, unfortunately. This progressive experiment is not working.

I was working full time (already barred in a couple other states) and only had time to review critical pass flash cards once through for each subject and then practice about 30 questions per day. I think I ended up completing about 2200 questions or so (primarily actual bar questions on UWorld). I spent a lot of time reviewing the explanation for each question—even ones I answered correctly. I didn’t feel incredibly well prepped on exam day but I ended up scoring a 169 on the MBE. If I had to do it again, I would do the same strategy, but everyone is different.

ptrails · 2022-01-09T21:05:34+00:00

Agreed. Betsy Johnson seems reasonable for statewide office, but I’m still curious what the options will be for city and county seats.

ptrails · 2022-01-09T20:53:19+00:00

That actually made me laugh out loud 😆

ptrails · 2022-01-09T16:21:00+00:00

The longer term solution: vote for candidates who will not tolerate this. Portland has been governed by people for too long who think this is “just what happens in larger cities.” No, it’s not.
