My Ethics, Let Me Show You Them. [Apr. 8th, 2008|11:18 pm]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
Remember a few weeks ago when I posted about how I was taking the MPRE (the lawyer ethics test, required to be passed before you can practice in all but a few states)? The scores are supposed to come in within five weeks of taking the test. I looked at a calendar and realized that the five week date is this coming Saturday. I looked further at the site and saw that they email you your results. Curious, I checked my junk mail folder and there it was.

An email, the subject line an uncapitalized "your mpre score report is ready." Heart pounding, I clicked the link, logged in, clicked a few more links (I think they do this to heighten your nerves), waited while Adobe Reader loaded, and saw my beautiful scaled score in all its glory:

120.


I needed at least an 80 to pass in Illinois. Now, to pass the Bar itself.

Okay, well, I should graduate first.

Let me simplify for humor

Okay, on a realistic meatspace level, you continue to be awesome, and every time I detect a note of surprise in your entries about your successes, I am in turn surprised, because this really ought not to be unusual anymore. You are awesome. Learn it and love it.

But on the lolkatja level? Also awesome! I love that your ethics are quantifiable. "I r serious Katlawyer. I has 120 ethics."

So you have half again the ethics you needed? Hmmm... Clearly you don't spent enough time with Caustic Matt.

Congrats!
