So I am sitting for the New Hampshire bar exam tomorrow and the next day.  2 long days of answering questions using law that is, ultimately, irrelevant to legal practice in the state of New Hampshire.  I am wicked excited.

But seriously, wish me luck.  Studying for this bar exam has been a bit of a struggle.  It is quite difficult to find the time when you have a family (including a 16 month old) and a full time job.

P.S.:  Did new features get added to the forum?  I don't recall seeing all the text formatting options before.

Good luck, Klav.  How many bar admissions are you aiming to have?

[JimIvey]

Best wishes.... 

When I sat for the Cal. bar, I heard an ominous song on the way into SF....  "3 Strange Days" by School of Fish.  Cal. bar is 3 days long.

Hope it went well.

Regards.

Good luck!  I may take the florida bar before too long, already have the Cal and CT bar, and the PTO bar.

Good luck, Klav.  How many bar admissions are you aiming to have?

4.  DC, MA, NH, and (eventually) ME.

If you count courts and the PTO, then 6.  Add the PTO and the CAFC.  Never did apply for admission before the SCOTUS.

The exam itself wasn't too bad.  Essays were relatively straightforward.  Multiple choice . . . well . .  we shall see.

At least it wasn't "Another One Bites the Dust".

Don't many states allow waiving the bar after so many years of practice?  Is there a list of these somewhere?

E.g., can a patent agent resident of Alabama pass the Florida bar but not Alabama's, merrily practice prosecution for a number of years, then get waived in to the Alabama bar?

There's a good breakdown of the states in this doc (Chart VIII):
