The Life After Law School Podcast

The bar exam is the one great hurdle that every student dreads.  As 3L's begin to seriously contemplate the summer odyssey that is about to begin, I take the opportunity to offer what tips and tricks I have to help you successfully survive the experience.  My tips come directly from my own Misfit experience of taking and passing the bar.  I also want to wish the February takers that Luck might be a Lady.

For your amazement and informational purposes, I am including the most current flyer in PDF form for Balticon 43 which will be held over the Memorial Day weekend, May 22 - 25, 2009 at the Marriott's Hunt Valley Inn just outside Baltimore, Maryland.

I will be attending Balticon this year and its an awesome convention to go to with an excellent podcasting track.

If you're going to be there, please look me up!!
