42. He would have had to learn Florida-specific law

Sun Feb 21, 2021, 07:50 PM

Feb 2021

(Likely including things not offered by his law school).

Florida is still doing its own thing. They share multiple choice questions on 7 main areas of law with the rest of the country (except for Louisiana), but they have their own (atrocious) essays and multiple choice questions on state subjects (with very few sample questions available).

Not that I've ever worked with anyone getting ready to take the FL bar exam . . .

Even if he had gone to law school in Florida, very few law schools teach state-specific law. So I get to be an expert in state-specific law. Thank goodness only a few states now test state-specific law - unfortunately, we send examinees pretty reglarly to three of them.

Okay, I'll just criticizing her then for trying to re-elect her scumbag father. :) dawg day Feb 2021 #38

Fair enough Ms. Toad Feb 2021 #45

None of those things are listed as requirements on the NY bar examiners' page. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #41

It's not new (and ongoing) - it is COVID-related specific to the July exam. Ms. Toad Feb 2021 #44

So there is no such requirement; Tiffany had nothing stopping her from taking the October NY bar. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #48

There was not for the February 2020 exam. Ms. Toad Feb 2021 #57

Why are you talking about the February 2020 exam? Tiffany was still in law school then. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #64

Since I spent quite a few hours in late April/early May Ms. Toad Feb 2021 #67

This isn't about you or your confused law students. This is about Tiffany Trump. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #68

It has little to do with missing deadlines. Ms. Toad Feb 2021 #69

There was no NY Bar exam in July 2020, it was continued to October 2020. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #70

The July exam did go forward - in October. Ms. Toad Feb 2021 #71

Your claim that "She would not have had the option to take it in New York" is dead wrong. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #73

February 2021 - yes Ms. Toad Feb 2021 #76

Last March, when the 7/20 exam was moved to 10/20, the April 30 application deadline was vacated. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #81

Not too fair to a native NYer who treestar Feb 2021 #58

Just for COVID, just for the July 2020 exam. Ms. Toad Feb 2021 #61

If she becomes a member of any state bar (i.e. NY or FL) she can also be admitted to the DC bar. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #18

She would have to be a member of the other bar for at least 5 years to join the DC bar Sanity Claws Feb 2021 #23

It makes no sense to not take a state bar exam when you're fresh out of law school. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #24

She was most likely counting on a huge White House wedding. kskiska Feb 2021 #60

Right. It's not as simple as passing another state's bar. You still would have to take an exam in Solomon Feb 2021 #29

No, I'm not confusing it with a fed job. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #35

And I'm speaking from experience. I'm an attorney who took the California bar, the DC bar and the Solomon Feb 2021 #51

Of course other states limit reciprocity between themselves. But I'm talking about DC. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #53

"Requisite scores". That means it's not automatic just because you passed some other state bar. Solomon Feb 2021 #77

CA and New York bar exams are harder. But no bar exam is "easy." SunSeeker Feb 2021 #80

I've heard that both the DC and NY bar exams are extra hard n/t TexasBushwhacker Feb 2021 #59

California has the hardest bar exam. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #62
