[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.[/quote]

I'm guessing when your family is worth a billion or so, you worry less about this than the rest of us.[/quote]

Very true. But if you don't care about the degree, why waste 3 years of your life in law school? Not taking the bar just seems like you knew you weren't smart enough to pass. [/quote]

It just seems like it would be REALLY awkward, especially during 2L and 3L when everyone is trying to get on with a firm. What does someone who plans to skip the bar do during the summers?[/quote]
