This is a two-part story about to my experience studying for and taking the California state bar exam.
For any of you who are 24 fans (the television series starring Keifer Sutherland as Counter Terrorist Agent Jack Bauer) don’t be surprised if someday you come across an episode where Bauer uses the California bar exam as a method of torture to extract sensitive information from a terrorist.
It all started in March 2009 when I applied for admission with the State Bar of California. Now, I want to let you in on a little secret: the State Bar of California does not want me or anyone else practicing law in California. How do I know? They make it as painful as possible to apply and gain admittance into the bar. I submitted a mountain of paper work along with several thousands of dollars in admission, background checks, and processing fees. Oh, I also had to pay a fee to use my laptop as well as an additional fee to purchase a limited license for the exam software. And that’s not all!!!
