It was a blunt comment but the truth.  Op is trying to salvage a career she never had. She never used her law degree. It's a big difference between someone who worked for X years vs someone with no experience.  [/quote]

Experience or no experience, she IS a lawyer.[/quote]

Did she keep up her license?[/quote]

She didn't need to but she can take bar anytime she wants.[/quote]

lol, she can't just take the bar anytime she wants when she doesn't remember anything she learned. [/quote]
Law school doesn’t teach you anything for the bar. You take a prep course and learn it all two months before the exam.[/quote]

True, but I think the reason you’re able to learn it all from the prep course is because you had the full courses in law school.  I don’t think you could learn everything from a prep course without having been exposed to it and spending the time to learn it.

I liked bar prep far more than law school[/quote]

No. I was an attorney in the EU, went to law school in a civil law country (law based on roman law and napoleonic code, zero idea about concept of common law). I did a LLM in IP law in the US, so other then Contracts and a legal writing course, all classes i took were about trademarks and copyright and licensing. Took a two month bar prep course starting at the end of May and took and passed the Bar in July at the first attempt. Stuff like criminal law, real estate, i saw them for the first time in the bar prep course.[/quote]
