Thirds! and I passed Texas!!

Who cares.

God Hates Texas. If Texas was gay, God would vote yes on Prop 8.

"an posted" ?

4 - I am third. Suck it

Sincerely

Texas is a great state. We have a low cost of living. You all in NY couldn't dream of the kind of life style we have here.

Mass bar results are now available online. Everyone passed.

the cost of living is low for a reason

Amen, 9. Stay on the coasts, suckers.

#5,

"If Texas WERE...."
Subjunctive, much?

Do you have to take the bar exam in a saloon if you want Texas justice?

Texas: #1 in blueberry farts

walker . . . . Texas ranger

Is the cost of living in Texas low?

#13 = Locke Lord stealth layoff victim

Trig Palin passed the TX bar exam.

Suck it, Tulane.

I am informed through a friend that if July 2008 NY examinees attempt to login to the https://www.nybarapply.org/ site with their old credentials, those currently flagged in the system as "not passing" will see the "(RE-APPLICATION)" option selected to allow them the opportunity to apply for the February 2009 exam. Those flagged as "passing" will see both options grayed out and be unable to re-apply.

9 - Pickup trucks, shitty beer, heat and humidity, and the fat girls that didn't move to the coasts.

Nah - you keep Texas (and huntin season), I'll keep DC (and intern season).

TEXAS BAR:

1) Did you know that Texas used to be its own country and could be again?

[ ] YES [ ] Didn't know but now know

Have fun practicing law in our fair state/country.

All i know is, other than maybe SoCal (where most of the girls have eating disorders), Texas has the hotest girls. Have you walked around Austin or been to a bar in Dallas?

TEXAS BAR:

1) How big is your hat?
[ ] Ten gallon
[ ] Five gallon
[ ] College logoed baseball cap with folded brim

Texas loves child molesting cults. mmmmm cults.....

I have watched Varsity Blues 10x. Can I practice law in Texas?

Is that a picture of the new Texas doughnut factory.

Do they like to eat a lot in Texas?

Your cost of living may be lower, but so is your salary and your intelligence.

20: you have successfully freaked all us ny july '08ers out

I heard that Texas was good for queers.

Salary isn't lower if you work at one of the many NY-based firms that pays NY salaries in their TX offices (like mine). Same salary, same bonus, so suck it.

Is Waco Christian University of Texas Law a good school particularly if you want to practice law in Waco?

33 - I practice in TX and have never even heard of that school.

34 - That's because it doesn't exist. Baylor is the only law school in Waco.

I am conscientiously objecting to bar exam threads in light of the fact that North Carolina's results--released August 29th--have been roundly ignored on ATL. What gives? I would have thought ATL would have been all over one of the first states--if not the first state--to release results. North Carolina has more electoral votes than Colorado, Massachusetts and Virginia, and it's a much nicer place to live than New Jersey, each of which received shout-outs. For shame!

34 - I wish you had not said that.

-embarrassed fellow TX practitioner

33 - Not particularly. If you want to practice in [Waco], you should go to Harvard Law School.

Best,
ATL

WCUT Law to $190

In regards to comment 20, has anyone actually seen a "RE-APPLICATION" option that is not grayed out?

Amen 23.

I am so glad I went to Waco Christian University of Texas Law over Tulane. Best decision of my life.

i'm nervous about everything being bigger in texas

-nervous T-10 1L

42 - Everyone at Tulane is grateful.

Can anyone corroborate #20 about the New York bar exam? (Any rumor is like throwing meat to the wolves here.)

-NY bar candidate, both options greyed out

I call shenanigans on 32 - what office of what firm pays NY salary AND bonus to its TX associates?

And even if the pay was twice as much as NY, I still wouldn't move to TTTexas. It is a stain on the world.

Everyone who took the July 08 NY bar exam whose last name ends in "stein" or "berg" has to take the exam over again.

yes.. same here.. grayed out but the button is on re-application by default... and i can click on Start Application

What if both options greyed out but you can still click "start application"

There is no such school in Waco. Please check your facts next time, 33.

Longhorn3L

CongraTTTulations TTTexas.

New York people - nothing to worry about. Both options are greyed out for all people who have taken a bar exam and all applicants will be able to hit the start button. Relax.

is the default re application on everyone's?

is the default re application on everyone's?

Chuck Norris only has to hit a button once.

Texass.

Woo hoo, Passed! Now off to an actual bar!

I'm thinking NY and CA (I took CA) are just competing here to see who can wait the longest to release the results without having riots. It's seriously gotta be a prestige thing, right? "Ooooh, we take longer than you, we must be BETTER (i.e. harder to pass)."

Fuck nuggets, I need a drink too #57.

20, that was an awesome troll.

I just logged on. Looks like I'm taking Feb.

Good things about Texas: Austin.

The rest of the state, Dallas included (or especially), is terrible. Really, really terrible.

60: Austin is not a "good thing" unless you like overrated towns. Otherwise I agree with everything you said.

21 - Where do you go to school?

Hey ny - at least we don't have to deal with gays and democrats. Exactly.
-Texas

21 has never been to Texas and is a yankee douche.

The latest report out of DC - Elie Mystal will be the Obama Whitehouse pogue. He will also serve as the official decanter at State Dinners. I hope this means that he leaves ATL.

Question - Why has my work ISP been banned from commenting? I made a comment about boycotting ATL and it gets deleted and my ability to make comments removed. Elie and/or Lat, you got to chill the fuck out. Relax. Your over reaction and detour into useless information is bad enough, but censorship? Really???

All pay 160k out of the gates with generous bonuses (except for Jones Day of course). That's enough to buy a 3500 sq ft house with land here in Dallas as opposed to a 700 sq ft apartment in New York. Sorry, but I'll go with a place where my money actually takes me to an elevated lifestyle. Oh, and we don't have to bill 2500 hours to keep from being fired.

Guess I'll head back to my TTT job that I got from my TTT school, even though I make more than you. One more for good measure: TTT!

Having lived in Dallas, i can tell you that housing is not inexpensive. If you want good schools and a decent commute to downtown, you have to live in the park cities where housing is as expensive as any decent suburb in the northeast. You can get a 3500 sq foot house in a good school district for $300K, but you have to move out to plano for that, which is at least an hour commute. Also, while texas has no state income tax, the property taxes are obscene, and almost make up for the state income taxes in the northeast and Calif. Overall, Texas cost of living is overrated.

67 - you must not have read my original comment: Even if TTTexas firms paid twice the NY amount, I still wouldn't want to live there. Why do you need that 3500 sq ft house? Is it so you can fit in a staircase big enough for your fat ass to make it up the stairs? I think so.

@67...160k won't get you shit in Dallas lest you want to live in the hood or some disgusting suburb. A fucking 1300sf townhouse in Uptown will run you 400k....Perhaps you got lost in Arlington.

Can someone please clear up the #20 post about the re-application once and for all? Is it valid or is it just to make us NY-ers nervous?

I passed...

I call 9's bluff. He's not from Texas cuz he said "you all" not "ya'll." Nice try. Almost had me convinced.

Can anyone just tell me when the new york bar exam results are coming out.

71/74: This isn't the information hotline. Check the goddam website.

Bite me 75--show me a website where it tells you when NY results are available

46 - It's not about what you need, it's about what you can afford. We don't need half the shit we buy. Having excess is no reason for jealousy.

70 - Granted, living in Uptown will cost you a hell of a lot of money. If you're afraid of the suburbs, that's your personal preference. I find Sunnyvale is a great "suburb" that is neither disgusting nor the hood. 18 minute commute is not all that bad.

73 - It's "y'all," not "ya'll." Think of the words being joined. "You" and "all." There is no "a" in "you." [Insert lame TTTexas attorneys are too stttupid to know the difference joke here.]

Come on guys. For being "intellectuals," you really are lame. Anyone who says "TTT" is really missing the point here. We all went to law school to make money, and your money will go much further in TTTexas than it will in the Northeast.

Good day.

Hey New Yorkers,

Suck on your soon to be 15% increase in state and local income taxes. I hope you like paying the welfare checks for crappy wannabe actors.

If you go to https://www.nybarapply.org/ now, a pop-up comes up saying that your ability to apply for the Feb. bar exam is no indication of whether you passed the July exam.

Nice work 20, you've got serious juice.

When will ATL comment about MD bar results??? Where's the love? Most of MD barred attorneys work in our nation's capital the hub of this great nation!

Somebody told me that typically the Bar results are posted one week before Thanksgiving. Any thoughts?

re: NY Bar Results
There is now an announcement on www.nybarexam.org stating that the "July 2008 Exam results will be available online Friday November 14 at 9:00 AM."

^ Another lie from New York. I couldn't sleep last night thinking about these damn results. I checked the site at 9 AM, and of course - it was unavailable. You can pay for call girls in New York and not get prosecuted, but it never crossed their mind to shell out a couple of bucks to beef up their damn website on the most important day of my life. When I am King, they will not be spared.
