The CA bar: Tuesday and Thursday, 3 1-hour essay exams in the morning, followed by a 3-hour performance exam in the afternoon.

Wednesday, the MPE – a 3-hour multiple-choice test in the morning and again in the afternoon.

The MPE covers Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law & Proceedure, Evidence, Real Property, and Torts.

The essays can be on the above, plus Civil Proceedure, Community Property, Corporations, Professional Responsibility, Remedies, Wills, and Trusts. Frequently more than one subject area is tested in an essay.

Oh, and I loved “My Cousin Vinney” too!!!

So many great scenes and lines in that movie. I love the argument on the porch with her “(stomp)(stomp)(stomp) biological clock ticking”.

Wasn’t that Fred Gwynne’s last movie? He was a great actor. The Munsters is still one of my all-time favorite shows.

A little trivia here…I’ve always been fascinated with movie and TV shooting locations. As I understand it, the house that served as the Munsters’ home (for exterior shots) is still standing, although its look has been slightly altered for more recent TV shows.

I’ll be taking the California Bar. It’s an endurance test: 3 days long.

See how smart you are? My first purchase after a kilt would have been underwear!!

I took the NY bar in 1993 and the TX bar in 1999. After NY, TX was a cake walk. NY did not have a third day, TX did. The third day was all procedure which I love. Give me anything with rules. Is that what CA’s third days is?

Men in kilts — be still my heart…

Thanks. Well, I’m Scottish, and a music teacher. After I bought a kilt, the bagpipes seemed logical.

And Sharon, good to see you’re still posting on occasion. Peace and Blessings to you, too.

Really! It’s one of those “Oh, stolen identity will never happen to me” beliefs.

I do wonder if that is why most clerks will not request ID…to avoid the confrontation with the customer they know will likely occur if they do so. With everything else going on in people’s lives, it’s one stressor that they would just as soon avoid.

I’m glad things are getting better in AZ, and with you. I remember one year when I lived in the Redding, CA area, it seemed like the whole state was on fire, and if I touched my face I would come away with gray smudges. It was terrifying because there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about any of it.

Stay optimistic and safe!
(Zooey – I like it) ;)

Its all good, I was in a rough state yesterday afternoon, no worries.

The fires in AZ are getting better today, progress was made, and the fire in Sedona/Oak Creek canyon has not made it over the highway.

However, worries are increasing with forcasted winds today and this weekend. I am personally optimistic. We will see.

I appreciate your concern, you nice person you.

Especially in your circumstances right now. I haven’t heard anything about the AZ fires today. Better? Worse?

BTW – Did you get my comment from yesterday that I wasn’t being sarcastic when I asked you if you were choking in the smoke? If not, I wasn’t!
