Everyone here has seen and witnessed enough of Bhank to know he never stays consistent with anything for more than a few months. This is 4 years he has to put in, longer than any incarceration he has had yet!
In my mind Bhanky is a slam dunk to pass the bar. “Many notable figures graduated from top law schools and failed a bar exam before going on to achieve high-profile careers in politics, law, and media.
U.S. Presidents & Political Leaders
* Franklin D. Roosevelt: Attended Columbia Law School and failed the New York bar exam on his first try in 1907. He passed on his second attempt before becoming the 32nd U.S. President.
* Michelle Obama: Graduated from Harvard Law School and initially failed the Illinois bar exam. She passed on her second attempt and practiced law at Sidley Austin before serving as First Lady.
* Kamala Harris: Graduated from UC Hastings College of the Law (now UC Law SF) and failed the California bar exam on her first attempt. She passed on her second attempt and eventually became U.S. Vice President.
* Hillary Clinton: Graduated from Yale Law School and sat for both the Arkansas and Washington D.C. bar exams in 1973. She failed the D.C. bar but passed Arkansas, going on to serve as First Lady, U.S. Senator, and U.S. Secretary of State.
* John F. Kennedy Jr.: Graduated from New York University School of Law and famously failed the New York bar exam twice before passing on his third try in 1990.
Governors & State Leaders
* Jerry Brown: Graduated from Yale Law School and failed the California bar exam on his first attempt before passing on his second. He later served four terms as Governor of California.

Prominent Legal Figures & Scholars
* Kathleen Sullivan: A former Dean of Stanford Law School and prominent constitutional law scholar. After practicing in New York and Massachusetts for over two decades, she took the notoriously difficult California bar exam in 2005 and failed on her first attempt. She passed on her second attempt.
Notable Individuals Who Never Passed
* Antonio Villaraigosa: Graduated from Peoples College of Law and failed the California bar exam four times. He chose not to retake it again and went on to serve two terms as Mayor of Los Angeles.
* Harold Ford Jr.: Graduated from the University of Michigan Law School and failed the Tennessee bar exam. He elected not to retake it and went on to serve five terms in the U.S. House of Representatives.
