Essays
It is very important at this stage of your studies that you include practicing essays under timed conditions. Write complete essays! Don't just outline. Do this even if you do not believe you know enough substantive law! Grading yourself with your outlines and study materials will strengthen your weak areas of knowledge. Put in the work and you will pass! Good luck!

A New Year and a New Career
First I want to wish you a very Happy New Year! This is the year that many of you will begin your career as a licensed attorney. If you are committed and stay focused, you will pass the bar exam, rather it be this February or July. Once you have your license you will begin to discover your true interests. Believe in yourself and find your passion. Do not be afraid to make a change if you find yourself working in an area of law that is not suited for you. Do not be afraid to branch out and pursue a dream or passion that has nothing to do with the law. A dear friend of mine and classmate passed two different state bar exams the first time she took each of them. She recently told me she is going back to an earlier profession because she discovered in her words, "I am just not very good at practicing law." That was a very brave and courageous admission on her part. She is obviously very capable and I believe from my observations, good at practicing law but she is not comfortable and therefore will make in change in her career.
I hope you each find the passion in practicing law and I hope you are willing to help those who may not be able to afford to pay you. The reward you will receive from doing Pro Bono work is many times worth more than any money you might earn.
Good luck and Happy New Year!
