Couldn't even imagine what that embarrassment is like. And it follows you around your entire career too.

One of my shitlaw bosses failed the bar six times and became a millionaire through hustle within two years. He had aspergers too. It eventually caught up to him and he lost it all.

one of the worst experiences of my life was just barely failing the California bar exam. i lost sleep for weeks. i studied without taking a course, thought i could wing it. went to another state and passed, and still avoided paying for a course. doing fine now

I have a friend who failed 3x, his dream was to be a public interest lawyer and he was depressed for a while.

Someone at my Biglaw firm failed and they got canned.

We had a dumb hot chick first year who got the job because she was like a niece of one of the big Dick rainmakers in a different group or something. She failed the bar twice and apparently it took all the partners efforts in my group to get her shitcanned over the objections of the big Dick partner who wanted to give her another try

I failed California the first time (bad time management, wheels came off on a couple totally random essays), but easily passed (I felt) on the second.

Was a real let-down for me personally, but the (biglaw in secondary market) firm didn't really seem to care that much.

I sat next to a kid who was on this 6th try. Brutal.
