Bar Exam [Hearsay alert: This may not have been the proximate cause].
Prepare yourself for a long wait after you take the Bar Exam and
make plans for what you will do if you do not pass the first time. If
you fail the California Bar Exam, your colleagues at King Hall will

individuals who have nothing better to do will cross reference the
published list of those people who passed the Bar Exam with those
people who were known to have taken it. These busybodies will also
