re: Louisiana July Bar Results Check-In Thread

Looks like Randall Gay, former LSU and NFL player, passed.

I read an Advocate article that said his wife graduated from Southern Law with him in May, but I don't see her name on the list. (Maybe she goes by a different last name?)

Could make for an awkward evening. "You go ahead and celebrate, I'll be okay."

The emphasis was on the multistate. From what I recall, my NY essays were CivPro, T&E, Property and Crim, but I don't recall landlord/tenant specifically.

Same here in Mississippi.

I crushed the MBE here. I finished it in over half the time allotted.

The essays? One was on evidence and there were about 15 questions totaling 800 points (whatever that means).

It gave us a bunch of different fact patterns and the questions would reference the fact patters and ask, "How would you use Evidence Rule XX to solve this problem?"

They didn't reference the typical evidence rules like character evidence or hearsay. Just some obscure rules, and only by their number.

No shite, I left that part mostly blank and still passed

Evidence Rule XX

Is there such a rule, or were the examiners just trying to bait you?

I love being an attorney. The ones who don't are the ones who treat it like a job. Being a member of the bar is a lifestyle. It transcends being a normal person with a normal job. You've got a higher calling, and to be happy, you need to accept that.

You have watched way too much TV and seen too many movies! i hope to Hell you were joking when you typed that post. Otherwise, you have a harsh reality waiting to slap you in the face sometime soon.

How many cases have you handled that involved Constitutional law?

As an attorney I've done some federal stuff where con law was directly implicated (national security and immigration). I've also done some appellate federal statute work that had some constitutional arguments involved.

Now it's quite rare, unless I'm working on a quirky procedural issue or something on appeal.

Prior to finishing law school I worked for a public policy firm where it was pretty much 100% con law.

Anyway, why do you ask.

Because you sound like a homo.

This is the type of bigotry that I'm working to expunge from our society

Well, the law will not do it. The law can make bigotry more costly and less acceptable. The law can reshape it and drive it underground. It cannot "expunge" it.

Have you considered the priesthood? I'm not being sarcastic.

Catholicism is certainly a good choice should one be so liberally inclined.

But the law is greater than the press, military might, and a flush economy. It is the fist of an angry populace.
