Who cares about all this...NY Bar results come out on Friday. I always thought they were released for "private lookup" on Wed or Thus and then released to the public on Fri. Hasn't this been the case in presious years?
Turd.
Keep Guantanamo open. We need a place to put Scalia, Thomas, W. Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Armitage, Wolfowitz, Yoo, Addington, McNulty, Goodling, Gonzalez and Ashcroft.
2:
Those "presious years" are long gone. Move on.
cheese
Texas results are out. Locke Lord Houston is psyched.
Judge Judy to SCROTUS
Tell Judge Judy to stop waving her penis at us. Its offensive and might attract more of them gays.

lol at "canary in the coal mine"
possibly the stupidest thing i have ever heard since 100% of law firm layoffs and problems have been reactionary to the downturn in the economy.
I know you worked extra hard to link those two metaphors, but you failed miserably.
You know what they say, too many lawyers spoil the broth so you shouldn't count your 401(k) before it hatches.
Mystal ate the canary in the coal mine and everybody died. Mystal, however, was satiated and unscathed.
No post about NY Bar results coming on Friday according to the BOLE website... ATL has officially become useless
NY Bar results have been released in Texas.
NY Bar to 100...% unemployment.
NY Bar results look up is already available.
HTFH
Judge Judy is TTT. She refered to invalidating the same sex marriages already performed as being against ex post facto requirements. Everyone knows that the prohibition of ex post facto laws does not apply to civil actions.
15 - False
Not a Mystal post.
Canary in a coal mine is not a mixed metaphor.
Carry on.
Mystal ate the NY Bar results. He couldn't help himself.
NY Bar results are open to the public? anybody can look you up and see if you passed?
Pray you failed so you have an excuse not to join the ranks of this "profession."
