RAE.IV

@BarExamTutor 9 days until early Themis opens up - I’m ready for the grind, and appreciative of the fewer subjects

More and more inquiries coming in from people not sure about how to prep for NextGen this July. I'm leaning heavily towards advising people to just take the UBE Lite (same bitter taste, but now with fewer subjects) and transferring that score to whatever state is administering NextGen. Even us tutors don't know all that much about NextGen yet! But it's an important decision: maybe there are reasons to take NextGen. That's been my advice, though. #barexam

@OrinKerr They might be bar exam intended? I’m not sure—we got access to them through the school and I’ve been using them during doctrinal classes as a supplement.

@RAEIV You mean their bar exam lectures? I was thinking of class, not bar lectures, which I think of as pretty different (perhaps incorrectly).

Niche tweet, but it strikes me as a shame that we don't have more of a practice of recording and posting sample classes of particularly effective law teachers. We can read academics' works as scholars, but teaching in the classroom stays in the classroom even though it's so easy to record videos of classes and post them for all to see. I get that there are some privacy issues with respect to student participation. Presumably those could be dealt with to record a particular class (much like schools post lectures that include Q&A). Anyway, I don't know how many members of the public would watch a law class on some random topic just to see how a particularly admired classroom teacher approaches the material. But I think it would be worthwhile.

@McCannSportsLaw I took the LSAT during Covid and so was one of the “at home” takers. I’m glad I was able to take the test at all (since NM was shut down for a while), but can see that people may have been able to take advantage.

Big law school news today: the online option for taking the LSAT is going away due to cheating. That’s a major shift—about 40% of people who take the LSAT do so online while 60% take it at a testing center. Probably means fewer people take LSAT next year. reuters.com/legal/legalind….

@BarExamTutor @SkinnerPm I’m graduating this May, and not having to study those three areas feels pretty good (other than having done very well in those classes and hoping for a little edge from that experience)

@SkinnerPm I'm not so sure about NextGen being better! That expression about the devil you know is better than the devil you don't know (or something like that) comes to mind. I'd take the washed down version of the UBE if you have the option.

Two weeks now until the final UBE under its current format. After February, we bid farewell to some of the long-time characters on the show. Wills and Trusts are getting killed off along with Conflict of Laws and Secured Transactions. Family Law is as well, but the plan is bring that one back in a few years. #barexam

@NLL Hey @BrianKnowsLax and @ILikelax99

The heat’s rising in the desert. The Gilazillas are ready to strike. 🦎 Welcome to #NLLUnBOXed, Arizona!

T-minus 60 minutes until the next wave of #NLLUnBOXed communities is announced. ⏱️👀

@ILikelax99 That’s only because your wife hasn’t asked my wife about my closet.

Continued growth. Love it. My wife insists I am solely responsible for merch sales increases. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@Chris_Collins33 @PLLRedwoods @PremierLacrosse Hell of a season coach! We’re ROLLWOODS all day, every day!

@PLLRedwoods 🫡

CAN I GET A 🫡 IN THE CHAT!!

@ILikelax99 All credit goes to you

I drafted Chayse. Just saying

@BarExamTutor I’ll be a July 2026 bar taker; didn’t realize the adjustment hits before New Mexico fully adopts the NextGen! That’s exciting, even though I’m enjoying Wills & Trusts (and take family law next semester).

Was recently reminded that beginning in July 2026 and through July 2028 (when the test is officially retired) even if taking the "legacy UBE," that's to say the UBE in its current form rather than the NextGen UBE, you'll no longer have to study the following subjects: Conflict of Laws, Family Law, Wills, Trusts, Secured Transactions. All of these subjects are removed from the exam during this time span. Not a small thing: far less to study for the MEE. #barexam

@CalderCitySport @skg_18 @PremierLacrosse I’m going with 97

The @PremierLacrosse was kind enough to send me this uncut sheet of the full 100 card base set from the brand new Fieldside release. While very cool, I’d rather see it go to another lacrosse fan/lacrosse card collector, so I’m giving it away here! One entry per person and all you have to do is: 1) Like AND repost or quote this post 2) Comment on this post with your guess for the cumulative total number of goals scored in all 4 PLL games this coming weekend in Chicago I’ll cover shipping and if multiple people guess the total goal count correctly, I’ll use a randomizer to determine the winner. Also make sure you are following me so that I can DM the winner on Sunday. GOOD LUCK!
