Bar Admission By Motion – The Saga Continues

Posted by Jeff Lipshaw

When we last left our hero, he had just received his MPRE score – a disappointing 115 – which put him somewhere in the 85th percentile or so, which he rationalized by saying that he really hadn’t studied very hard, and had not taken the review course.

Sometime over the summer, I logged onto the National Committee of Bar Examiners web site, and filled out the form.  I did this for Indiana in 1999, and I am pleased to report that the questions now only take you back to when you originally were admitted to the bar, and not back to your after-school jobs in junior high.  There is still the embarrassing issue of the speeding ticket I got on US-12 in Homer, Michigan between Indianapolis and Ann Arbor one Friday night, but I have gotten over that.

I also gathered the three completely honest and laudatory letters of recommendation from people I trusted (for what I am not saying), the required certificates of good standing from Indiana and Michigan, and snookered my law school roommate who practices here in Boston into sign the application moving my admission.
