This film hits the nail on the head



Having just taken the bar exam for the 2nd time, after missing the first by 4 points, I can truly say that I am an expert in what these people have gone through. I am still going through it, and get my results May 5, 2008. What value does it have? For me the value was in how it showed that everybody of every walk of life in every state and from every type of law school goes through the same uncertainties and torture with this process....I did not take the bar in California and I did not go to Loyola or UCLA by any stretch...but my experiences taking the bar both times ran the gamut of experiences from all 6! I got hysterical, had times when I felt i couldn't learn anymore, screwed off when I should have been working, studied wrong, studied right, ignored my family, failed one part of the bar, passed another part, could't sleep the night before, cried too much, laughed too much, got a nervous gastrointestinal situation, didn't take enough practice exams, took too many practice exams, you name it. The message....YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Well done, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I passed! I got sworn in a couple weeks ago and deputized by the local prosecutor Friday!
