Numbers Game

By Armen

For those who recently swore in to the California Bar, your bar numbers should start popping up on the website. That is all. Also, this whole bar number thing is a lot like the Stonecutters.

[For bonus points: the partner next to my office has to attend a Boy Scouts event where Jerry Mathers of Leave it to Beaver fame is the guest of honor. Please guess the appropriate TV reference that immediately came to my mind].

In response to John Steele's question below, a review session for the MPRE is much more useful 1 week before the test rather than 2. The general consensus is that students spend a minimal amount of effort to study for the MPRE. As a result, last minute cram session works best. Second, students generally do not have access to review sessions by BAR/BRI until 3L year. This is simply because the vast majority of people end up at firms. And firms that offer to pay for bar prep courses do not do so until you accept your offer during 3L year. That's just a long way of saying that the number of students who have access to a commercial review session is not as large as you'd think.

As a personal tip, if you're the obsessive type, then read all the comments to the model ABA rules. And if you're really on an ethics binge, feel free to read and discuss this ruling by the California Supreme Court about what not to do when you see privileged docs.
