It is painful that he is working so hard and hasn't passed but I respect the fact that he is still trying to do what HE wants to do. Funny thing is, when he does pass I have no doubt that he will be a more successful attorney than the nutball who thinks making fun of him is some kind of sport...<br /><br />Respect...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559983208580788273.post-89323823561558758112011-06-18T21:10:52.118-07:002011-06-18T21:10:52.118-07:00July 2011 = fail

Every time results come out I come to your page to check and see if you passed. I am so sorry that it has taken you this long and I cannot wait for the day I check and I see that you have finally accomplished your goal. I applaud your perseverance and wish you all the best! I will tell you though, being an attorney is not all that. If I had to do it over again, I would NOT do it.

I passed two bar exams (including California) on the first try, did well at a real law school, and (so far) have a successful career in the very field that he is unable to enter. I think that makes me objectively smarter. Appreciate that you took the time to notice!<br /><br />I also have a family and can assure you that my children will not be permitted to make silly decisions like going to unaccredited law schools and taking an exam that you will not pass 10 times.<br /><br />I don't really know enough to say who is more tough, but whining about posters speaking their mind isn't a particularly tough or thick-skinned trait.
