The Great Change: Turning Cathy into a Lawyer

I'm happy to say that the CLE courses from hell were, in fact, successfully passed.

Yay! This means my New Jersey license is still active. Unfortunately, probably not for long...

I have to take at least two more classes this year, classes which are only taught at random times throughout the spring and summer.

Unfortunately I made the apparent mistake of taking the criminal procedure course this summer instead of the civil procedure one. If I'd done civil I would have been able to do criminal and administrative law back to back this spring, but it appears now I'll have to drop a couple hundred dollars twice this year in order to fly back to New Jersey for a single evening lecture or risk my license going inactive. Plus, because I haven't taken civil procedure yet, I don't know how to sue the state of New Jersey for having this unconstitutional requirement that puts such an undue burden on out-of-state lawyers like me...

I am also far from happy with whatever the snafu was on the part of the single agency authorized to administer these requirements that caused me to only just find out about my having passed just now... Or the fact that even after all this nonsense none of this effort will count for New York's CLE requirements.

On the upside, however, I never have to do homework ever again!!!
