129: Should You Take the California Bar Exam or the UBE?

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we're talking about making the decision to take the California (or other state-specific exam), or the UBE.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Factors to consider when deciding where you want your law license to be
• Thinking about how the exams are really different
• What if you are struggling to pass the exam in a certain state?
• The score portability of the UBE
• Accommodations provided in the different jurisdictions
• What are the downsides to changing jurisdictions when you sit for the exam?
