pass the bar exam

what a relief! Just goes to show you can pass the NY bar first time even if you are a foreign trained attorney (just takes a lot of work!) – Celebration Bar Review HIGHLY recommended for others in my situation.

so, not long now then. I fly out to the US on Saturday so that leaves just a few short days to drag my MBE score up a few points. I am happy about the essay portion, with a little brushing up on the law I should be fine…it’s all getting a bit scary now.

well the application form has been sent off. If the bank look kindly at the application and grant the loan I could have the money by next week which means I can start studying really soon! I know its going to be hard work, especially as I have never studied American law before but I am determined to work harder than ever before to achieve this goal! I just hope I can maintain the motivation over the long months before February…

Yay! – my loan application form came through and the lady at the bank sounded very positive that I could have a loan for the bar review/exam fees/flight and hotel!!! I know it’s more debt but I see it as a good investment and besides as soon as I qualify I will start to earn a decent salary and a mere £3000 will seem like nothing! One step closer….

I am a Uk law grad, 1 year away from qualification as a English solicitor. I really want to take the New York bar and become dual qualified so that I can improve my chances of securing a job with a US firm in London when I qualify. I just need to get the money to do the bar review from somewhere….
