Have any laterals failed the bar? Ca results come out Thai week and I’m nervous I’ll be let go if I’ve failed. I’m already barred in NY and a rising 3rd year in corporate.

I have heard of people failing the bar, yes. I think it’s standard to give multiple shots, no?

Wondering the same thing. Hoping it's less of a big deal to fail since I'm already barred in another jx they have an office in

Same. I just want to know if I’ll get a 2nd shot seeing as it’s one of the hardest bars or if I’ll be fired.

People usually get multiple shots. Failing obviously isn’t helpful to your career, but it there’s no reason it has to be the end.

Was bar passage by a certain time a condition in your offer letter when you lateraled? I ask because I’ve seen that before and I know a lateral attorney that failed the new state’s bar and was let go. But, I’ve also seen firm’s give someone a second attempt.

My offer letter says that I must take the Ca bar in july and comply with all admission requirements. It also mentions that it’s firm policy to be admitted to the bar in the state in which you are resident. That’s it really

Has anyone dealt with a therapist not being able to see you (virtually) while you are temporarily located in another state?
