It’s that time of year again… My bar exam results for Pennsylvania are coming out in one week. Since my future employment is riding on this, I’m asking the Dope to send out whatever good vibrations they can for my success. …failing that, hopefully I’ll have passed the New Jersey bar exam instead. If I passed PA, that doesn’t matter (no offense to the Jersey Dopers). ---

All the best of luck, **RIL**! (Although I don’t think you’ll really need it – from your posts I’ve seen on the boards, it sounds like you’ve got a great grasp of the law and I’ll bet you’ll make a great lawyer. Break a leg.) ---

I’ll send you good luck for your bar exam results if you send me good luck for the L.A.S.T. test that I’m taking Oct. 18th! Or maybe I’ll send good luck anyway. 😉 ---
