Law School In Brief

Lydia reports back from the July '22 bar exam! Before that, Megan and Lydia catch up from the long summer. This episode is not for the squeamish.

Lydia takes the bar exam in two days!!! Megan patiently listens to her thoughts on the summer, preferred bar prep resources, and fears. Please send good vibes!

Megan takes her Attorney Oath in Durham. In St. Louis, Lydia wrestles with her last round of take home finals but gets distracted by the (arguably more) daunting task of finding an apartment in NYC that will be walking distance to work, is large enough, and won't cost a kidney.

Megan passed the bar exam!!!!!!! Her swearing in is on the horizon! Meanwhile, Lydia begins the bar process by taking the MPRE and submitting her bar exam application. Tune in for a fun convo where Lydia imitates a cat imitating a parrot...?

Megan took the bar!!!!!! She has all the details about what the experience and some advice for listeners. Lydia's not even close to taking the bar, but did go to Barrister's Ball, aka law school prom.

Megan is taking the bar exam right now!!! In this recording from a few days ago, she shares her bar prep journey! Concern about bathroom access at the NC exam site leads Lydia to send an email to the bar examiner office on air. Huge missed opportunity to make an "It Depends" joke.

Lydia shares her first impressions of her last semester of classes! Megan takes the bar exam in ONE month and reports from the field.

Megan reports back from her graduation ceremony! Her life has quickly turned into bar prep - she shares what to expect from bar review programs and how to set up a good study space. Meanwhile Lydia is studying for exams and hiding from tornadoes in basements!

Megan finishes law school ON AIR!!! Lydia then asks Megan about her reflections :,).

[Episode posted very late due to Lydia's exam prep and Friendsgiving prep.]

After honest life updates about the emotional toll of law school, Lydia gives a presentation on the Eugenics Movement in American Legal History which she gave for class this week. Megan provides descriptions of the slides for the listening audience, or you can download the slides from the blog here: https://www.lawschoolinbrief.com/post/eugenics-presentation-from-ep-77
