What Are Your Tales From the Bar Exam?
Many law grads are breathing a sigh of relief this week after completing the bar exam. An earthquake in Southern California rattled test-takers there on Tuesday morning. One blawgger whose test location was shaken up said he dove under the table for about 20 seconds of the quake, but that not everyone was deterred. “Some people just kept on typing,” he wrote.
In New York, bar-exam takers used laptops at their own risk as the New York State Board of Law Examiners issued a policy full of warnings and disclaimers stipulating that test-takers needed to have pens at ready in case their software failed them.
But things are tough all over—and always have been. We want to know your bar exam war stories, whether they’re from during your months of prep or test day.

Our favorite answer from last week:
Posted by CB: Lawyer movie: Intolerable Cruelty. The movie is a great commentary on family law that includes great scenes such as the main character speaking at the NOMAN convention (National Organization of Matrimonial Attorneys Nationwide - “What God has put together let NOMAN put asunder”) and attorneys telling their clients who marry without a prenup, “You are so exposed.” I recommend this film to any attorney that needs a good laugh.
