On this week’s episode the ladies chat with Yohanna Romero Baca. She is a graduate of George Washington University School of Law.  Before law school Yohanna worked as a paralegal at Squire Patton Boggs for 4 years for before attending law school. During law school Yohanna continued to work at the law firm. In total she worked there 9 years before becoming an attorney. 

She shares that tax law was her biggest struggle and one of her biggest accomplishments was working full-time and completing law school successfully. Her biggest tip for the current law student is, WAIT FOR IT .... actually do your readings! Haha DUHHHH!! 

Yohanna is here to talk about the Bar exam. She equates the bar exam to the Olympics – Law school to a marathon  and Undergrad a 5K. She shares her experience taking the bar exam for 1st time. She took a bar prep course. Followed it to a t. Worked at the firm like she did in law school. Sadly, she didn’t pass. She knew at that point she HAD to do things differently. 

Yohanna changes her mindset. She knew she was NOT going to pass the bar with the 200 multiple choice question. But rather with the writing parts of the Bar Exam. Find out what she did differently by listening to the rest of the episode. 

Yohanna has a soft spot for struggling bar exam takers because she failed the bar exam before going on to conquer it in 3 states (Texas, Florida, and Maryland). Now she is on a mission to help struggling bar exam takers make the necessary changes to finally pass the bar exam, start doing the work they love, and make a living as licensed attorneys!
