According to this, I have passed both portions of the FL Bar exam.
I am mildly surprised.
The only logical thing to do is finally find a good fishmarket, get a bucket of oysters, and grill them over my Bar/Bri books.
These results came at a good time - today was an awful day in court. Looking back over the results, I think we actually came out ahead, in that my client's outcomes were in the acceptable-to-very-pleased range. However, getting there was ugly. U-g-l-y. I need more courtroom chops than I currently have, as I was caught flat-footed twice. If there's any way I can help it, I am never bringing 14 cases for trial on the same day; it was just kind of insane.
The last time I announced I was having a glass of wine on the blog I ended up working instead. But tonight, I think a celebratory drink is in order, proceeded by a libation to the Goddess-of-Computer-Error-Which-Works-In-My-Client's-Favor and to the Herculean efforts of the Sensibly Hellish Law Student, Thinks Before She Speaks, the CAnarchist, and all those whose good will kept me going through what has, to this point, been the most stressful and busy nine months of my life.

Thanks all,
I just got paper confirmation today. While one can never really overstudy for the bar, my results surprised me. Based on the MBE score, I can now seek to be admitted into Minnesota, North Dakota and the District of Columbia bars without having to take their local bar exams. They are the only three jurisdictions that do this. Given that Florida has no reciprocity, this is something I should explore.
The only thing left to do is to wait on the results of the FL character and fitness examination - although it's really more of an inquiry.
Now - off to bed, headcolds are best fought with food and sleep.
Best,
Scoplaw
