First, Jason Tolerico's latest Free Outline offer opens on May 1, 2014. Get 'em while you need 'em. Links to his site are just over there towards the top on the right side of my page --->.
Second, I am transitioning my practice from Judgment Recovery to Disabled Student Advocacy. I'm partnering up with another attorney who has a very busy practice representing students with learning disabilities. We step in when the school district fails to implement an appropriate learning program for the child. It's much more satisfying than trying to squeeze money from bad guys.
Third, the actual practice of law is much more enjoyable than trying to pass the bar exam. "What's that," you say? "You can't be serious!" Yes, folks, I'm serious. (;-)> Besides recovering money for people who have won their case, I'm handling a couple of civil matters. It's not the easiest thing I've ever done - I'm sure it would be easier if I wasn't doing it solo - but there are enough resources out there, including other friendly attorneys, to make it manageable. I'm not rich (yet!), but things are coming together.
And I still receiving the occasional email from people looking for advice on how to pass the CA bar exam. I always begin my reply by reminding them that, given my history, I might not be the best person to ask, but I am happy to relate to them the things that I did differently on the exam that I passed. I believe I've actually helped some people and that makes me feel good.

How do I take advantage of the free outlines? Thank you.
Send an email to jtlaws@gmail.com. Jason will be happy to set you up.
Thank you. I received the outlines and they look great. I particularly appreciate the CA v. FED focused subjects, and BA/Corp outline since I do not feel barbri is strong on this particular subject. THANK YOU!!
Where is the Big Cat? Miss that feline. Would be curious as to BC's take on this years pass statistics (and socialist musings ... ha!!!!!!).
Thanks for keeping this blog up Poobah. Searching through it while studfying was very helpful (and amusing).
Wish me like in 5 minutes!!
is the feb 2014 cumulative pass rate published? what is it? I heard this exam in particular was brutal.
45.3% total % passed in February 2014. It was a BRUTAL exam, but Jason Tolerico helped me pass.
It was odd ball exam for sure! The pointed questions and focus on "small" rules was wacky. However, by reading blogs like this one and investing in some great supplements(in addition to barbri) I passed on my first try!! If you are preparing for July 14' - Keep the faith, it can be done!!
Thanks for the updates GP, ie Poobah Cat :) ...
Really have enjoyed your blog for all these years and appreciate that you continue to update.
Now that it is been more than a year, does it seem like ages ago that you were preparing for the bar? Ever thought of going into bar exam prep work? I am sure you experience could help others.
