flygrrrl95 0 #54 July 12, 2007 Quote Honestly - the practice of law is just a total eye opener. You won't know what is going on, and few will expect you to know. If you feel like you don't know what you are doing, then you are right where you should be in your development. >>> Geez - sounds a lot like medicine. Even after 24 years there is not a day that goes by that the thought "I have no clue what is going on" goes through my mind!! I guess that's why it's call the PRACTICE of medicine and the PRACTICE of law, eh??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And here's another pointer - the Bar exam is the last closed-book test you'll have. That's one of the great things about our career.

brierebecca 0 #61 July 12, 2007 QuoteIm just kind of writing off real property as something i have troubles in and need to compensate with something else Now don't write off ALL of real property. It's about 15 percent of the test. But RAP is not worth spending a lot of time on, in my opinion. At most you'll get 3 questions on it. And one will be impossible. I have a question for the other lawyers on here: I'm thinking of taking the Florida Bar because I went to law school in Florida and I already have all the character and application stuff out of the way. But I've been told that this will send the wrong signal to those who are in charge of whether I make partner someday (i.e. she's thinking of moving back to Florida, she's not in it for the long haul). What do you think? Brie"Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs.

Jewels 0 #62 July 12, 2007 I don't know. Does your firm do a lot of work in Florida? You're close enough that if you realistically see a practical use for it, your reasoning might fly with the partners in your firm without a second thought. On the other hand, if your firm doesn't do work down there, yeah, they might wonder if you have something in the back of your mind about going home again. That's not to say it might not serve you well to do it anyway. Lots of attorneys are admitted in more than one state. You might also look into the reciprocity requirements.TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladydyver 0 #63 July 13, 2007 Quote But people don't usually "hate" doctors and nurses, like they claim to hate lawyers.

PLFXpert 0 #65 July 13, 2007 Quote Hehe... I don't think I'd ever get married without a prenup. It's a way of protecting the person I love from anything I might try to do to them financially should things not work out. Agreeing on stuff like that beforehand when you love each other is a LOT easier than agreeing on it after everybody's angry. Since 50% of marriages end in divorce, it's a coin-toss chance that a contingency plan may be required... hope for the best, and move on with your marriage knowing you've already planned for the worst. Marriage is a contract, and a prenup is just a vehicle to define the terms. Or just don't get married. I'm an advocate of that.Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
