You could spend a lot of money preparing for your bar exam on books and courses, but that’s boring. Who wants to read
books when you can play “Passing the Bar,” a board game I discovered while flipping through the SkyMall magazine this weekend on my flight home.
It looks like a cross between Trivial Pursuit and Monopoly, with game pieces from Sorry. For $119, the game includes 350
Multistate Bar Examination cards with legal questions modeled after the MBE, and 100 “Justice Cards” that feature
celebrity run-ins with the law, famous verdicts, and movie quotes from courtroom dramas. Because the bar exam is going to
ask you about “A Few Good Men” or “Kramer vs. Kramer.”
You can also buy an additional box of game cards, with 450 questions from previous bar exams.
The game’s three reviews are all positive and say it’s a fun way to study for the exam. The makers also say not
only is it the perfect gift for law students, but fun for lawyers, too.
I want to know if anyone owns this game or has actually played it. Is it a worthy study tool or is it really just a good
gift for someone in the law?

With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.

Jack, I was only responding to bill's comment of tying everybody in government together. I agree with you though, it takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch.. As in any profession. What's truly unfair is when somebody violates someone's trust and takes complete advantage of someone

John’s comment is unfair. The majority of attorneys can be trusted. Unfortunately, all it takes is one greedy, unscrupulous, immoral attorney to jade the public.
-
In regards to bill's comment about trusting the cover meant. We can trust them about as much as we can trust attorneys'.

This is disturbing to learn...
