LALS #007 - The Bar Exam

The Life After Law School Podcast

The bar exam is the one great hurdle that every student dreads.  As 3L's begin to seriously contemplate the summer odyssey that is about to begin, I take the opportunity to offer what tips and tricks I have to help you successfully survive the experience.  My tips come directly from my own Misfit experience of taking and passing the bar.  I also want to wish the February takers that Luck might be a Lady.
