Some of you had a great year and passed the bar exam.  Well done!

For others, your time is coming.  Congrats on continuing to pursue your dreams!

New Year's Eve can be quite an interesting time.  For those who took the bar exam but haven't passed yet, it's a time to look back and feel pain and sorrow.  In 1999, I chose a different approach.  I chose to think about the opportunities that the new year presented.  I felt that the next year was my year and that I was going to put it all together, pass the bar exam, and have the best year of my life!

If you did not receive good news on Friday, I'm sorry to hear it.

Some of you received your results letter on Saturday or Monday and the MBE was part of the reason you failed the exam.

Happens all the time.  For some of you, it's that you've historically not been a good standardized test-taker.  For others, you didn't have books that reflected the diffculty of the exam. 

So how do you get help on the MBE?  Individual help?

Congratulations to all that passed the Cal Bar Exam!  The official statistics are:

San Francisco, Nov. 18, 2011, 6:00 p.m. – The State Bar of California's Committee of Bar Examiners reported today that 54.8 percent of the applicants passed the July 2011 General Bar Examination (GBX). If the 4,635 people who passed the July 2011 exam satisfy other requirements for admission, they will become members of the State Bar.

To all those awaiting results from the July 2011 Cal Bar Exam, I hope you hear good news in the next few minutes!
