Bar Exam Open Thread: Have At It

By

Here’s an open thread for discussing the July 2011 bar exam. We hope you attack it with all the gusto of Los Angeles lawyers at a deposition.

If you’ve just finished the bar exam, congratulations. We hope you’re taking a well-deserved vacation, perhaps involving some exotic travel (e.g., the traditional bar trip).

If you’re still in the middle of the big test, good luck. At least you’re done with the MBE, which some believe to be the hardest part of the bar.

Some of you may need all the luck you can get. This morning we told you about bar exam mishaps from this week. Unfortunately, since then we’ve heard about even more bar-related problems.

Let’s hear about the latest difficulties from around the country — and give you a place to talk about the test….

The UNOFFICIAL New York Bar Exam Results Accidentally Posted on the Web Briefly Today.

By

I cannot confirm ANYTHING that you are about to see. As a journalist, all I can tell you that two people confirm that this following names were cut and pasted from the New York Board of Law Examiners website earlier today when names were accidentally posted to the BOLE website. As we’ve mentioned in prior coverage, NY BOLE denies that they have posted the 2010 July bar results.

I can also say that these lists seem to be the same ones I saw when I clicked on the BOLE page before they were taken down. A friend of mine who was sitting for the bar appeared on the web, and appears in these lists.

So take this with some skepticism, but here’s what was posted earlier today. Click on the links below:

Page 2 = A – B
Page 3 = C – D
Page 4 = E – G
Page 5 = H- J
Page 6 = K – L
Page 7 = M – N
Page 8 = O – R
Page 9 = S
Page 10 = T – V
Page 11 = W – Z
