Episode description

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?
