I had client meetings in Indianapolis, Indiana yesterday and my dear sweet grandmother decided to ride with me to go shopping at Nordstrom (we are not blessed with a Nordstrom yet in Cincinnati) and stop at the new LIVE casino outside of Indianapolis.
A discussion of the Bar Exam came up and my grandmother mentioned that she knows several lawyers failed the Bar, one or more times and then decided never again to retake the Bar Exam.
I explained to my grandmother that you are a law school graduate if you graduate from law school but you are not a lawyer until you pass a Bar Exam.
This got me to thinking about individuals I know who never passed the Bar exam or a few who never took the Bar Exam.
Not taking and passing the Bar Exam was never an option for me. I have taken and passed three Bar Exams (on the first try I might add) and I practice law in three states.
What about you? I would think even if you don't decide to practice law, that being a licensed attorney, gives you more employment options, especially in this economy. What do you think?
