Professional Development While Waiting for Bar ResultsAs you walk out of the testing room after your bar exam (in-person or virtual), the relief is immediate and immense.

DO NOT go read forums. DO catch up on sleep. DO eat all the macros you have been neglecting. And there are some practical things you can do as well, like preserving your notes for future reference.

Setting long-term goals after the exam is a little harder.

May 26, 2021 By Prathyusha Chenji Leave a Comment
