Congratulations to the Nevada Supreme Court for the fucked up bar exam experience I had. Awful, and you are all putrid.

Don't forget United States District Court and Nevada Court of Appeals. The lowest rung of the ladder to say the least.

Yall are miserable. I have been in practice for well over 10 years. I love heading into work (no sarcasm), love that I get to sit in the air conditioning with my worst physical injury being a papercut. Early on I made the decision to "work to live", not "live to work." Yah, I'm not partner-level making 400k, but I have a great family and social life (even now).

But wait you say, "don't you want that new Porsche 911"? Nah, I would rather drive the minivan. Good luck coping with your burn out through substance abuse after you realize you've wasted the best years of your life trying to make a billable requirement that is only attainable through fraud.

Figure out early on what's important to you. Anyways, have a nice Friday!

Don't hate this guy's never experienced 0-60 in under 8 seconds so he doesn't know what he's missing.

1:19 Here. The difference is my 0-60 takes years…years filled with fun memories and family. In the few seconds before you reach the light, do you really want those flicker of images to be a series of .2 entries and a BMW?

Drop the chains. Tell the partner to screw off, you got a life to live.

How is the Pass rate nearly the same this year then it was last year (64% to 61%)? Wasn't the Exam open book? Smells like BS with a hint of Cuban cigars in the air.

They control what the pass rate is by setting the cut score. That's why it being open book or any other changes weren't a huge deal, it you set the cut score at the same level, it will be just as difficult in that you still have to beat the same number of other people to pass.
