If you’ve read any of my posts while I was prepping for the NY bar exam (see below), you know that I was having a crazy time studying and working full time. I had tons of emotions flowing through me and nothing let up – not work, BarBri (my prep course), or the demands of [...]

Alright yall, there are just 9 days (216 hours) until the New York State Bar Exam. I’m sick inside. I have stuff I want to write here but can’t commit the brain power. So I’ll get back with you after the exam. In the meantime, I want to share this post I read earlier from [...]

I’m going to be bitching in this post. You’ve been forewarned. 34 days (839 hours or 5,0367 minutes) until the July Bar Exam. This is the worst. It’s not like it cannot be done.

So where are we now? There are 46 days (that’s 11o4 hours or 66269 minutes) and a number of seconds until I sit for the NYS Bar Exam.

It hasn’t gotten any easier and I expected that to [...]

There are 59 days, 11 hours, 40 minutes and 23 seconds until I sit for the New York State Bar Examination. Until then, I will spend every day studying. This is normally a difficult and stressful time for anyone preparing for the bar but I feel like I’m running the race with gorilla on my [...]

If you’ve been paying any attention to the news surrounding Elena Kagan’s possible confirmation to the Supreme Court, then you’re probably familiar with the “vapid and hollow charade” quote from “Confirmation Messes, Old and New,” Kagan’s essay for the University of Chicago Law Review commenting on SCOTUS confirmation hearings and questions asked of nominees to [...]

[insert frowny face here] So I recently heard that Harvard Law is no longer going to cover the tuition of aspiring public interest lawyers. If you’ve been a reader of this blog, you know that I graduated from law school. If you’re a close reader, you know that I spent my time in law school [...]

After commencing her duties on August 8th, 2009 as the 111th Supreme Court Justice and the first Latina to hold such office, Justice Sonia Sotomayor took her first seat on the bench Wednesday at a specially convened session of the Court. Yep, now that the hubub is over and she’s really in there (whoo!) Sotomayor [...]

When you don’t have a job, you tend to spend hours online looking for work and after that you spend more hours Googling random crap or wasting away on social networking sites. One of my fave finds from those late night internet binges are blogs written by law grads who have either taken and failed [...]
