[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think anyone confident that they would pass the bar would take it.  For a competent person, it's just 3-4 weeks of concentrated study.  [/quote]

This. I knew I would never practice as did a few of my classmates and we all took the bar.  It looks bad if you dont. IMO it makes people assume you didnt pass or couldn't pass. [/quote]

This. You never know where you career might take you, or when having the Bar might come in handy. Sitting the summer after graduation is NBD. Discovering you need it 10 years later and having to start from scratch, on the other hand, is a nightmare. BTDT due to a move with no reciprocity.   There is no reason not to take the month, take the Bar review class, and just get it.  After that, you can go associate or inactive if you don't need it, pay your $200 a year, and skip the CLEs. Zero downside.

Did he not sit, or not pass.  The one person I know from my class who s isn't sit couldn't pass character and fitness. So there is also that. [/quote]
