Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we're talking about taking the bar in a new state, when you're already licensed elsewhere.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Figuring out if it's possible to take the attorney version of the exam
- What are the most efficient study methods if you've already passed once?
- Evaluating what topics you should focus on
- Why the passage rate for attorney applicants is not very high
- How early should you start studying?
- Is your job willing to make accommodations if needed?
