I have no more excuses; I must start studying for the MPRE (i.e., the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam). In addition to sitting for a three day exam after graduation, law students are required to take the MPRE to be able to practice law. I've always been a bit perturbed by the legal profession requiring an exam on ethical and professional rules, as this is the very profession trained in avoiding rules, but I digress. Rather than come up with some excuse like lack of time or the exigence of other obligations, honestly put, I have little motivation to study for this exam; it just doesn't scare me enough. It's relatively cheap to register for the exam, and I don't have to have passed it prior to sitting for the bar exam. Further, it's not as if the exam is on constitutional principles or the rules of evidence; the ethics rules are logical and obvious to the casual observer. But rather than kicking myself in a few months for failing the exam and having to spend the sixty some-odd dollars to re-register and the time to study again, I opted to begin studying tonight. Well wishes for the exam are more than welcome, as would be a heavy dose of motivation.
