Yaaay law students!! I have working for 2 years now but I definitely remember those days! Since you are 3L's I would say - don't go crazy over finals and burn out because you have a long summer ahead of you...it is almost over!!! Hang in there!!

---

I second that! I have been working for 6 years now! Don't burn yourself out on finals, the bar is more important!

Hope you dont mind if I sneak onto your board. I'm getting married two months after the bar and I really need to change my mindset before I start studying for the bar. Right now, I can care less about the school and all I think about is this wedding!

This is exactly the reason we decided to push the wedding till several months after the bar (that and finances). I know that I can ignore the wedding planning till after the bar. If you can just do whatever you can before you need to start studying in May and then pick up full force the first week in August.

Eek I don't know what I would do!

But I know what you mean; this semester has been all wedding prep; I really need to get into high gear for the bar exam!

Chapel06 - is that true? if so, thats music to my ears because i was under the impression that i'd be in hibernation for the next 3 months haha.

finals in 2 weeks - and i really havent done much work all semester (too busy thinking about the wedding) now im getting nervous.....

I was told that when you are studying for the bar you should take one day off a week and not do any studying. I'm going to devote that one day to wedding stuff and pray it will be enough.

---

O I didn't hear that... (about taking one day off a week...)

Thats what I have been told. My FH took the bar last year and passed and every one told him to take a day a week for himself and he did. I plan on doing it, up until the last month.

Two lawyers!
how is that relationship going?!

Oh wow! I give you guys so much credit! I graduated from law school last year - practicing since August & completely sympathize with you - wedding stuff PLUS finals and the bar! I always think that my FH should get a honorary law degree for putting up with me throughout finals and the bar! Good luck with finals!! All the best!

---

I agree that FH deserves an award!

Thanks!

actually i've heard that too. i was just talking to a prof about the bar exam and she said its not as hard as finals!. but it is hard core studying for 2 months (especially for the courses you didnt cover in law school)

are you guys taking it at jacob?

You heard a day a week off?

wow...
It is alot of work and alot of material but not HARD per se.....

I am taking it at Jacob

I am a 2L, and my wedding will be 2 months after the bar. When do things start to get really crazy as a 3L so I can plan ahead?

Get everything done beforehand!

I have no idea where I'm taking it. I registered but they haven't given me a location yet. I know sometimes there are a few locations in NYC.

---

I think everyone who lives in the first or 2nd district takes it in Jacob Javits center...

Don't know if you ladies want the advice of someone else that's been there done that, but here's a repeat of the best advice I received while studying -- Since the pass rate for the bar averages at about 65% in New York, whenever you freak out, just remember you only need to do better than about 35% of the people.


OH, and if you can accept early on that there is no possible way that you will get everything right, and give yourself permission to forget some things, it will take a lot of the stress off you!
