Thank you for your comment and thank you for following the blog!

I don’t know the reason why the California bar is delaying the release of the February 2013 questions. I heard that there were some layoffs last year. So perhaps that has something to do with it. But, it seems like it would be a fairly simple matter to release the questions.

I presume they have a reason. I personally do not think that it is to mess with the minds of the July bar exam takers (although, it likely will cause some distress to examinees).

Last year, the California bar exam released the questions to the July 2012 exam a few weeks later than usual. In fact, the bar released the questions to the Los Angeles Daily Journal (who then in turn released the questions to those of us who were writing model answers for them) before the questions were released to the public. I presumed this was to enable The Los Angeles Daily Journal to meet their print deadline and continue their longstanding, expected publication. However, this year, the bar is not releasing the questions.

It will be interesting to see when the questions are released. Currently, I am told that the questions will be released “sometime in July”. That is a long way off and could even mean the night before the bar exam.

We shall see.

I have been asked to put up a “donate” button and suppose I could. I do get a lot of satisfaction out of thank you’s though – personal messages from examinees who tell me they benefitted from my blog is very satisfying to me.

I will keep you posted on a “donate” button though

Thank you for the suggestion.

All the best,

Lisa

It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d without a doubt donate to this fantastic blog! I suppose for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to new updates and will share this blog with my …

Wishing you all the best news in May!!!

Oh, and thank you for the kind words

All the best,

Please see my comment below . . . regarding the rude person who replied to your posting (I originally thought he/she was referring to my blog post and only just now realized that he/she was responding to YOUR comment). How rude. Anyway, please take a moment to read through my comments back about Essay 5. I agree with you that it was mostly (perhaps all) Civil Procedure. I have commented on this below in response to others concerns about whether there was in fact an Evidence issue or not. Rest easy, put the test behind you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at: pass@barnonereview.com

I am calling it a day for now. But, will check my email by Monday if not sooner.

All the best to you and my apologies for not realizing that “AllWorkIsEasy” was being rude to you.

Sincerely,
Lisa

I just realized that your comment above saying the person “couldn’t be more wrong” and hope they do better in July “youngster” was probably referring to one of my blog follower’s comments – and not my posting – as I had originally thought.

If you want to critique me here . . . and I have the choice of allowing you to post here . . . that is fine. But, you may not use my blog to post nasty and negative comments about other bar takers – this is not YOUR forum. If you want to be nasty and rude then go do it elsewhere. I am here trying to help people. I do this for free. I will block you if you make any further negative comments about anyone here.

I am getting increasingly disappointed with some of the new lawyers to be . . . not most, not all . . . just some. There is this mean spiritedness out there. It is not becoming of any profession . . .

I hope to see less of it.
