I Failed the 3-Day California Bar Exam.

  • In July 2010, I failed the 3-day California bar exam. When the result came, it was horror, shock, fear, disbelief, and pain, all at once. I spent nearly a week in that state before I could even think about preparing again. None of that week was spent thinking about who I was or the attorney I wanted to become. All of it was spent on the consequences of the result.

  • The Detox is what I would hand myself on results day if I could do it again.
