[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP who keeps insisting that we find this amazing, most DC Urban Moms are already lawyers who didn't have this kind of expensive help or mentors to help us pass the Bar. Some people did not pay for expensive BarBri prep, much less daily one-on-one Zoom tutoring sessions. Also, I question whether the "baby Bar" is actually harder. If its pass rate is lower, it could be bc people taking it did not come from accredited law schools.[/quote] I'm one of the PPs who finds this really impressive - and I have a law degree from a top Ivy. That is part of why I am impressed. I know how hard this material is - and I came into law school straight from college, so my brain was ready for studying and writing papers and all that. I'm now more than 20 years out of law school and gd help me if I ever had to take one of those exams again - even if I had a BarBri prep course (and lol at you thinking most people here didn't use some study prep for the bar!).[/quote] +1 I went to a top law school and passed 2 bar exams and I’m plenty impressed. [/quote] +2. And while law school taught me a lot, [b]top schools don't teach to the bar.[/b] I used BarBri for that as did most of my peers. [/quote] So law schools do not teach to the Bar exam...yet most people taking the Bar exam do not fail the Bar exam 3 times. [b]Could it be that the caliber of people taking the "baby bar" is not the same?[/b] I am all for helping people wrongfully convicted, but this feels like a publicity stunt and attention grab. I mean, it's far better than making s!x tapes and taking selfies; don't get me wrong. [/quote] This is correct, the baby bar in CA is typically for students at unaccredited law schools (I am an adjunct at one). I can tell you that the students at the law school I teach at absolutely do not have the kinds of resources that she does (or anything close), so I can't say I'm actually impressed at all with her (and I went to HYS for law school and passed what are likely the two toughest bar exams, NY and CA). [/quote] +1. Color me unimpressed. She passed the baby bar on the 4th try. The baby bar only covers three subjects: Contracts, Torts, and Crim. Seriously? Only three subjects and it took her four attempts with every single possible study resource at her finger tips. Massive publicity stunt. I doubt she'll bother (or be able) to get much further than this. And to be fair, she really doesn't need to when she can continue to make bank by churning out vapid content on IG. [/quote] There’s no need to continue anyway. Her fans don’t even understand what she’s doing. They think she’s in law school, getting a degree, passed the first half of the bar. People don’t know what they’re talking about. She could tweet in a year that she passed the bar and will be practicing estates law for wrongfully imprisoned people, and everyone will say it’s wonderful that she finally graduated from Stanford Law, and if you have anything else to say, you’re just a jealous hater.
