The results for the July 2012 Virginia Bar Exam have been posted online. As I predicted, they were released 1 day before the scheduled date, so if your friends are still waiting for tomorrow, let them know the results are up and available now.

As usual, there are 2 lists: Pass list A for those of you who passed and have no outstanding paperwork or issues with the VBBE; and Pass list B for those of you who passed and still have pending issues/paperwork to submit to the VBBE. Those on the first past list are now licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia, so congratulations!

For those who didn’t pass this time, try not to be too hard on yourselves. It is a difficult exam and you can always re-take in February 2013. Think about how you studied, how disciplined you were in following your study plan and what you would have done differently. For most people,

July 2012 Bar Exam is over

Congratulations to everyone who took the bar exam, it’s over! VA was nice enough to hold off on the painful UCC3/9 stuff but the MBE was maybe a bit tougher than usual. The good news is, it’s over. Hopefully the results will come in promptly this time around. I’ll post when I hear when they expect results to be posted for DC, VA, NY, MD and CA. Good luck to everyone and have a great rest of the summer.

Day 1 of the Virginia bar exam is done and we saw Trusts, Federal Civil Procedure (it’s back), Domestic Relations, Sales (UCC2), Property, Wills, Criminal, Corporations and VA Civ Pro.

No major surprises, now it’s time to switch over to multistate mode and tackle the MBE tomorrow. Hopefully they go easy on some of the strange property questions this time around.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July to everyone! Maybe if you’re feeling a little patriotic you can study some con law and focus on 1st amendment rights :-) Great day to celebrate everything freedom brings with it including studying the area of constitutional law. Have a safe and happy holiday!

With exactly 3 weeks to go until the bar exam, this was a pretty bad weekend for a storm of epic proportions to roll through the area and knock out power to millions of people. Hopefully those of you who are without power are able to go to a local library or some other cooling center to continue your studies. If your study schedule was thrown off this past weekend, don’t dwell on it. Just look forward and keep your eyes on the prize. You may need to adjust your schedule from now until the exam, possibly adding an extra hour or so each day or maybe even canceling some 4th of July plans you had, but the reward of passing the bar exam is worth it. This is now the critical time to be studying since with less than 3 weeks you should be able to retain most of what you study/review at this point. If you’ve been avoiding certain subjects because they are hard/boring/challenging/whatever, you need to start focusing on those subjects ASAP.
