does Iowa still have that price cap in place for bar exam materials? I have to take the fucking bar again and am appalled at the apparent price fixing for materials (granted it looks like they cost half as much as they used to). Back in the day, I thought Iowa capped the price of review courses, but I'm wondering if they have changed this bince they went to the UBE. I about shit my pants during the MPRE and thought I failed it, so I want to prep a little more for the bar than the MPRE. You need a 266 out of 400 - my guess is I could walk in cold and get close to 200, but I'm really worried about civ pro and new conlaw shit, plus there is some fucking UBE shit about trials. I also heard the July exam had an essay on a fucking mechanics lien. FML.

I was wondering if Iowa still had that price cap because Iowa and SC both have some new uniform bar exam and so they all use the same books now. SC is like FL - they don't allow waive ins due to the influx of retirees on the coast.

I don't know the answer...the last time I encountered bar exam materials was when I took it and I never wanted to see any of that shit ever again.

It's a giant fucking scam. He's already aced law school, he's nailed at least one bar exam...and even if you practice in a jurisdiction, you're always researching the law cuz it's always evolving (or devolving as the case may be,) you don't just memorize it for a fucking bar exam and then "know it." Christ, I can't remember shit about law school or the bar exam but I know where to find the relevant law I need to know to deal with a legal issue. Giant pain in the ass

Giant pain in the ass In other words they just want his money They want my money and to dissuade Yankees from moving here. It's not as appealing of a retirement destination as FL because it has income taxes. However, there are people from FL moving here now because they realized that the constant heat and humidity sucks. The summer up where I live actually isn't as hot as the worst days in Iowa (but it is longer - started hitting 90 in May and was in 80's until last week). There's still a winter, but it only lasts for 4-6 weeks and it gets above freezing everyday. This dude was bitching last night "three winters ago, we had like a 6 day stretch where it didn't get out of the 30's." We had a cold front move in and it's 49 today and you'd think we were nearing the end of days. I'm in a flannel shirt and half the people are wearing winter coats.

Nah, there are actually some huge differences in states. Like in SC, you have to be separated from your spouse for a year before you can file for divorce. And if you have a permanent duration LLC and the members can't agree on something, one member can force judicial dissolution.

How much the bar exam? A grand or two?
I thought you were rolling in it? --- and isn't it tax deductible?

But still...that's shit I could learn with 15 minutes and a Westlaw subscription. It's a fucking racket. The real reason for non-reciprocal bar admission, as we both know, it to cap competition.
