[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No clue how anyone can do well without actually going to law school.

I went to law school right after college and passed the bar. I would never attempt to sit for another bar in my 40s. I’m amazed when my friends who are my age have moved and studied for another bar. I don’t know anyone who attempted the CA bar in their 40s or without going to an accredited school. [/quote]

I did at 45. I swore I would never do it again after passing the first time, but circumstances dictated.... You know what you do? Youtube that $h!t. Law professors everywhere are uploading their review classes to youtube, and I am not kidding when I say I YouTubed my way through my second bar exam.  :wink: Passed working full time with a kid. [/quote]

Wow. That’s impressive! Well done.  :) [/quote]

What's interesting is that things that didn't make sense the first time around clicked the second because I had more life experience. You [I]could[/I] do it again if needed. :-)[/quote]

That makes sense. I bet I would understand property law, for example, better now than when I was in law school. Still, what you did is very badass. :)[/quote]

Yeah, I took a second bar in my 40s working FT and with 3 kids.  (I was working FT when I took my first two.)  It's not that bad, really, although I wouldn't say it was a fun thing to do.  90% of what is on any bar exam I did not learn in law school, so it's not like law school was a real help.  It was all just studying for the bar and learning the basics.  Probably easier than right out of law school, because right out of law school you have all the philosophy and policy arguments in your head, which are actually a hindrance in the bar exam.  Bar exam is more like studying for the written part of the driver's exam (but of course a lot harder) -- some of it you can intuit from experience and some of it you just have to memorize.[/quote]
