You Failed the Bar Exam, But You Can Still Become a Great Lawyer!

November 19, 2012 By Lee Burgess Leave a Comment

This weekend the California bar exam results were released. We don’t have all of the numbers yet, but many people (thousands, actually) were disappointed when their name didn’t appear on the pass list.  Some students are still grieving. Some are getting ready to prepare again. But after speaking with students coping with a failure, one doubt seems to come up in their minds:

What if this means I am not going to be a good lawyer?

Some students taking the bar exam in February (or July) want to know what they can do now to get ready for the bar exam.

November 4, 2012 By Lee Burgess 1 Comment

Although we are still a month or two out from bar exam study season, many students are wondering what they can do now to help set themselves up for exam success. One skill that many of my students (and others) have told me has been really helpful for them is learning how to meditate.

“Sure Lee, you are just saying this because you live in San Francisco.”

Not at all! Meditation (or mindfulness) is a movement in the business and legal community where high functioning people are learning the benefits of incorporating meditation into their daily schedules. [Read more…] about Can Meditation Help You Prepare for the Bar Exam?

The Waiting Game: Bar Exam Results

October 24, 2012 By Lee Burgess Leave a Comment

Many bar applicants around the country are still waiting for bar exam results. This can be an incredibly stressful and frustrating time.

Almost all attorneys can share with you their story of waiting for bar results. So if you are still waiting, I have some tips for surviving the waiting game and dealing with results day.

The Waiting Game
