Welcome, everyone. Thank you for signing on to the CLEO Bar Exam Blog. I want to thank Ms. Cassandra Ogden, Mr. Rod Terry, Mr. Duane Tobias, and Ms. Laura Zamfir, all of the Council on Legal Education Opportunity, who have helped me to make this blog possible for all of you. Each one of them was instrumental in the effort to get this blog up and running, very quickly. They have helped me, help you.
On that note, this blog is designed to answer questions, and provide advice and support to CLEO Fellows and Associates. So, I would like to extend a hand to all of you that are signing on to the blog for the first time today. I expect a lot of questions from the graduates of the class of 2010. I do not believe that any question is too big or small to answer. I also believe that the question not asked is the same one that can make a bar exam experience unnecessarily miserable. Often, "that question" is the one question that is on the minds of your fellow CLEO Associates or Fellows. Let me reiterate this point, again. Please, ask me the question. As a future lawyer, you want to get through this bar exam process with as much information as it takes to make this experience a one-time, July 2010 situation.
I will offer advice, too. I will share with you The Fear Factors: Fifteen Reasons Why Applicants Fail The Bar Examination. Yes, Fear, Factor, Fifteen and Fail are all in the title. The words are there "For" a reason. I am here to remind you what an examinee must do to be successful. Sometimes the reminders are subtle, other times the reminders will be strong.
The end result will be the same. It is about what you must do to place the word, Esquire, behind your name.

ReplyDeleteThank you for providing this support system to all of us. Please share any advice you have on approaching the essay portion of the bar exam. I am currently studying for the NY/NJ July 2010.
ReplyDeleteHello to Ms. Lilka, Ms. Onika, and Ms. Severe. Thank you for being the first to write me on the CLEO Blog. It is good to have you here with me, and I am thinking about you this morning while your brains are resting, and looking to feast on a lot of new knowledge today. Tomorrow, in addition to a more in-depth discussion regarding the bar essay exam process, I will begin to include the Fear Factors (Real Reasons why some do not pass the bar exam). An initial hint on Factor #1. Always Remember That You are An Applicant For A State Bar & Nothing More. You are applying to a jurisdiction - you get to take that jurisdiction's test - in a manner that is determined by that jurisdiction. You are the applicant. You change for the examiners' - it is not the other way around. Okay. Talk soon. Let's make it happen.
