NewsOK: Oklahoma law students are setting benchmarks
Would-be lawyers in Oklahoma pass the bar exam at a nearly unparalleled rate, but no one really knows why.
Some point to the caliber of students admitted into law school these days, while others note schools have shifted their focus toward preparing students for the bar exam.
Whatever the reason, those […]
I passed
Wednesday, September 6th, 2006
This is an update to an earlier JMBzine post
I got my score yesterday on the MPRE and I thankfully passed (Oklahoma’s passing score is a 75), so I should be a lawyer very soon.
Actually sooner than I expected because I thought I wouldn’t get my bar license until Sept. 26th (when they have the swearing […]
In case you’re wondering…
Friday, April 21st, 2006
I’ve had several kind folks send emails congratulating on my bar passage which is really cool, but I should say that if any of y’all are wondering why I’m not at the swearing-in ceremony tomorrow, I still have to take the MPRE before I get my bar license. Due to a situation (too long a […]
Passed the bar, so I’m heading for Texas
Friday, April 7th, 2006
Well wonders never cease is all I can say about the bar exam results. I was with a friend (who brought with her some much appreciated Full Sail Pale Ale, either to celebrate with or to mourn with) when I saw the results on the website and I was surprised, and one of the first […]

The Bar Exam is over
Thursday, February 23rd, 2006
I’ll say more about it later (it was one weird experience) but I took the Oklahoma Bar exam on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. It went better than I expected, but my expectations were extremely low so that isn’t saying much. My guess is that I’ll be right on the line of passing or […]
4 days 6.5 hours to go
Friday, February 17th, 2006
Well the bar exam studying is flying now and while I still feel woefully unprepared, I’m beginning to also think it might be possible for me to pull this off. For the multi-state/multi-choice subjects, I think I’m in ok shape (I have those six subjects condensed down to around 350-400 flashcards). I still plan […]
Bar Exam Prep Update - 5 days, 15 hours and counting
Wednesday, February 15th, 2006
Here’s a quick update on my studying. I’m still pretty depressed about the whole mess but am feeling somewhat more confident when it comes to the multi-state multiple choice subjects (torts, property, evidence, crim law & procedure, con law, contracts). I feel pretty incompetent though on the essay topics (all of the rest of the […]
6 days 22 hours 35 minutes and counting
Tuesday, February 14th, 2006
The bar exam prep is continuing with rapidly increasing intensity. I honestly now am convinced the test is more a test of one’s ability to handle crazy stress than it is an actual test of one’s ability to practice law. It definitely reminds me of the weeding out process of the 1L year (when everyone […]
