Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 12th, 2010 6:37 PM Author: Primrose talented messiness What is the time-table for everything after the bar exam? When do you send in the C&F application? Now, or after you find out if you passed? What's the deal here? tia

You and about a hundred other peops interview at the same time. My interview was about 1 minute long with an octogenarian who had his walker deskside. He didn't even crack the file. Asked where I worked, told him I was unemployed. He told me to contact rich relatives. Worthless. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1394233&forum_id=2#15773794) |

Date: August 12th, 2010 6:44 PM Author: Histrionic know-it-all address scourge upon the earth 3d dept is for out of staters iirc. 1st dept is for NYC residents. Don't worry. You have 3 years from passage to get admitted. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1394233&forum_id=2#15773830) |

Date: August 12th, 2010 6:48 PM Author: Primrose talented messiness How is this whole process initiated though? Am I supposed to proactively do something, or do the Bar Examiners get in touch with me and say, "your assigned to x dep't, download their forms and submit them by this date"?

lol. do they care much about your pre law school employment? it's going to be hard to get references for that. |

Date: August 12th, 2010 6:49 PM Author: Histrionic know-it-all address scourge upon the earth They don't give a shit. I didn't have an employment affidavit for a law school employer. (Employer was a scatterbrained lazy shit.) they gave me shit about not having it, so I submitted a letter stating the efforts I made to get it. I don't think anyone read it. It's just like a check the box type thing. Unless your former employer tells the c&f committee you are an embezzling whore, you're getting admitted.

Date: August 12th, 2010 6:58 PM Author: fishy locus yeah but those who do had to study for and pass the bar exam before finding out they were never going to be admitted anyway? what the fuck? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1394233&forum_id=2#15773967) |

Date: August 12th, 2010 7:00 PM Author: fishy locus so they are willing to advise you up front? why not just do it formally that way then? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1394233&forum_id=2#15773985) |
|
Date: August 12th, 2010 7:03 PM Author: Alcoholic tripping whorehouse really tough guy pretty sure they are. probably, as someone said below, to avoid reviewing applicants who'd go on to fail. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1394233&forum_id=2#15774007) |

Date: August 12th, 2010 7:01 PM Author: Histrionic know-it-all address scourge upon the earth The number of ppl who have been denied admission to the ny bar based on c&f after passing the bar for the first time is prolly in the double digits. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1394233&forum_id=2#15773988) |

Date: August 12th, 2010 7:02 PM Author: fishy locus thats fine, but if theyre that lax, why not just approve everyone up front? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1394233&forum_id=2#15773996) |

Date: August 12th, 2010 7:06 PM Author: Histrionic know-it-all address scourge upon the earth Cuts down on paperwork. Don't have to process the c&f apps of the hundreds who fail.

|
Date: August 12th, 2010 7:08 PM Author: fishy locus yeah, i get it man. im just saying its ridiculous that they're saving time processing a few extra applications at the expense of the few people who invest MONTHS and a bunch of cash into passing the exam.

Date: August 12th, 2010 7:13 PM Author: Histrionic know-it-all address scourge upon the earth Do you think a lot of people fail c&f? It's not even a few. I bet one or two ppl fail each cycle, but prob not even that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1394233&forum_id=2#15774076) |

|
Date: August 12th, 2010 7:29 PM Author: Histrionic know-it-all address scourge upon the earth I only know one person who failed c&f and that person had it coming to them. A lot of ppl went out of their way to contact the c&f committee about this applicant.
Coincidentally, he used to be an asshole and xoxo poster. Maybe still is. |

|
Date: August 12th, 2010 7:08 PM Author: adventurous karate C&F is one of the few threads that attorney protectionism is hanging on.
they can't make it *too* pro forma. |
|
Date: August 12th, 2010 6:58 PM Author: Histrionic know-it-all address scourge upon the earth Who the fuck cares. Nobody passes the bar but not c&f. C&f is a formality in ny. Means ny doesn't have to deal with all the c&f apps of the 75% of llms who fail. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1394233&forum_id=2#15773971) |
|
Date: August 12th, 2010 7:00 PM Author: fishy locus "Nobody passes the bar but not c&f." so nobody fails C&F then? |

Date: August 12th, 2010 7:04 PM Author: Alcoholic tripping whorehouse really tough guy look man. most people pass criminal background checks that some employers run. that doesn't mean the checks are worthless. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1394233&forum_id=2#15774013) |
|
Date: August 12th, 2010 7:04 PM Author: Histrionic know-it-all address scourge upon the earth I don't know how you could fail c&f in ny unless you or someone else went out of your way to prevent you from getting admitted. It's not like ppl are dinged by c&f and surprised. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1394233&forum_id=2#15774015) |
|
Date: August 12th, 2010 7:06 PM Author: fishy locus even still, i'm sure it wouldve been nice to know before investing months of time and thousands of dollars into passing the exam (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1394233&forum_id=2#15774031) |
|
Date: August 12th, 2010 7:09 PM Author: Histrionic know-it-all address scourge upon the earth Or years and tens of thousands going to law school. Idk man, how about they pre approve you at birth? Ppl who know they will fail c&f know that in advance. You gotta be a pretty bad dood to fail. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1394233&forum_id=2#15774053) |
|
Date: August 12th, 2010 7:15 PM Author: fishy locus how about they just pre approve you before you sit for the exam (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1394233&forum_id=2#15774087) |
|
Date: August 12th, 2010 7:17 PM Author: adventurous karate Most people that have C&F issues aren't approved before you sit for the exam in jurisdictions that require C&F filing prior to or contemporaneously with the Bar exam app.
|
|
Date: August 12th, 2010 8:19 PM Author: fishy locus they are in my state. and either way, at least you would have a clear red flag from the state bar months in advance of making any commitment to take the exam (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1394233&forum_id=2#15774632) |
|
Date: August 12th, 2010 8:35 PM Author: adventurous karate so now you claim to know the disposition of every candidate who has C&F issues in your state?
The one person I know who had C&F issues was not cleared before taking the bar.
you have your own clear flags in re C&F - it's not like you don't know what you've done. |
|
Date: August 12th, 2010 7:19 PM Author: Histrionic know-it-all address scourge upon the earth Like I said, extra paperwork. Foreign llms take the exam in droves and most fail. Lots of people take the exam but never bother to get admitted (work in another state, don't work as attys).
Forgot to add the convenience of having your secretary do your app post-bar. That's a reason right there. |
|
Date: August 12th, 2010 7:06 PM Author: adventurous karate no, but most other states don't let English deficient foreigners take their bar exam.
it'd be a complete waste of their budget to process the 11k C&F applications when only 1/4 of the FOBs taking the bar pass. |

|
Date: August 12th, 2010 8:18 PM Author: Light Chapel Its mostly a formality so NY can say theyre one of the only states that interviews everybody. For people who don't have any blemishes on their record, in many departments, you interview is literally a 1 minute thing the morning before you get sworn in. Its more of a pain to get everything together than something to worry about once you have all the documents. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1394233&forum_id=2#15774627) |
