FINALLY! I am a real lawyer

I took two prep courses- Kaplan first, then Barbri. I studied my butt off for eight months straight and I PASSED! Now I have to take an oath and get registered in, but that will be the first thing I do on Tuesday morning. Whew! So happy to have this goal completed!

Trying semi-immersion

Working in a law office where everyone except me is fully fluent in Spanish. It seems odd that if the words are written, I understand them better. When people speak, I don’t comprehend as well. I suppose it is because I have learned by reading and studying on my own.

Still not fluent by a long shot! But, I do know the jist of most things and need less help every day. Always afraid I will mis-comprehend something and screw up the client’s case- this is immigration law and an error could mean someone gets sent “home” where they don’t need to be!!!

Going to keep at this one unless I have to start studying for the bar again.

Took the exam, but did I pass???

Who knows? I am now waiting and waiting for the results to be posted. Terrified! I did my best but will understand if I did not pass it. It was really hard. I dread having to start over on studying to take it again!!! I will let you all know what happens next month!
