In this episode we discuss:
- Factors to consider when deciding where you want your law license to be
- Thinking about how the exams are really different
- What if you are struggling to pass the exam in a certain state?
- The score portability of the UBE
- Accommodations provided in the different jurisdictions
- What are the downsides to changing jurisdictions when you sit for the exam?
