I’m a California admitted attorney with 2.5 years experience and I want to move states. I know the basics of Washington, D.C., Washington state, Texas etc. are there any little known bar admissions hacks that can help me move somewhere more easily? Looking for a LCOL state closer to east coast than the west coast.

If you’re licensed in CA you’ll likely have to take the bar to move anywhere. The UBE is much easier than CA bar though (no weird state rules that confuse with fed law, don’t need to memorize the ethics bit)

In the past I’ve wrongly thought that forgiveness brings restoration of relationships. But reconciliation requires everyone involved to respond -which is beyond our control. Forgiveness says I’m canceling that debt- it’s my marker & I’m tearing it up. I’m putting myself in Gods hands -Justice comes from Him. We mistakenly think that forgiveness is weakness as if we just capitulated. Forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness- It takes strength to forgive. God tells us to forgive.

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me.

I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.
