Strategically, I volunteered to take on more work so that I would be busy all day before results were posted at 6pm. It worked. I left work at 5:45, drove home, checked the mail, went to the bathroom, grabbed my laptop, and then it was 6!
The downside is, I still have work left over...oops!
Congratulations! You will never know more law across different topics than when you take the bar, so it's all downhill from here. ;-)
Haha. I'm contemplating taking NY at some point, just for client development purposes. But I also remember saying this summer that if I ever leave CA, I'll go in-house so that I never have to take another bar exam....so, I feel there was probably a reason I said that.
