Registered to sit for only part A this July. I started studying 4/30. I work full time so really can only study 3-4 hours during the week and grind on the weekends. I'm already kicking myself for not starting in March or April.

I bought the Grossman what's the issue videos and the bar exam masters multiple choice + flashcards bundle. I know I just started but I'm already panicking that these two things aren't enough. The material seems so difficult.

Anyone only rely on what's the issue and BEM and pass Part A successfully? I also have the Themis hard copy outlines but am really struggling to justify the price for the entire Themis program...would love to hear if it was actually beneficial or not

I took a practice torts essay recently for FL-specific law that was about an injury at a business that required people to sign a waiver form before engaging in the activity. I wrote about implied consent if the form was defective and knowledge of the risk so they assumed the risk. However, the model answer ended up neglecting that entirely and went into an offer, acceptance, and consideration analysis instead.

When did consent forms require offer, consideration, and acceptance? One doesn’t need to provide consideration for consent or assumption of the risk to stick. Am I missing something here? I went to law school outside of FL

Hey yall.

I’m doing Themis. I’ve spoken to many people who passed. They recommended and contributed their bar passage to one of or all the following resources:

-Bar Exam Masters

-Adaptibar

-Uworld

-What’s the Issue

My Themis course has me doing at least 6 hours a day, sometimes 8 hours of studying daily. My question is:

How exactly do I integrate all or most of these resources in my bar prep?

I failed February by 2 points & have to retake the exam in July. I need advice because my father is dying. His recent cancer treatment caused his brain activity to slow down and he has lost the ability to say more than 2 words at a time. I don’t know how to focus on bar prep right now but I have to or else I will forget everything. Any words of encouragement or magic study tricks would be most appreciated.

I am taking the Florida bar in July, and I have a shoplifting incident from when I was 16ish (I am now 35!). I don't remember what exact year it was and I don't have any records about it. I am barred in two other states, and have disclosed evrry time. That incident has just received a cursory glance and my C&F interviewers for both states kinda laughed at it. I contacted the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice (I grew up in Florida) to try to obtain my records when I was taking the bar exam for my first state, but they sent me back a letter saying they didn't have any records for me. I went through juvenile arbitration and diversion, so that may be why I don't have any records.

When I first started applying for Florida, I didn't anticipate any issues, because I hadn't had any issues for my other states, but seeing horror stories about Florida character and fitness, I'm nervous now that they're going to ask me for additional records that do not exist and that I'll be rejected. Any advice?

You’re welcome! 😊
