Idaho will be adopting a new bar exam in February 2012. The Uniform Bar Exam (UBE) is a two-day test that allows for reciprocity with other UBE states. States that currently use the UBE include Alabama, Missouri and North Dakota. Washington will adopt the new test in July 2013.
“We’re assuming that over time more states will adopt the UBE,” Diane Minnich, executive director of the Idaho State Bar said.

ELEVATOR SPEECH: TONY PANTERA
Last week I presented an interactive workshop titled Marketing Essentials for Associate Attorneys for the Idaho Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators and was impressed with the elevator speech of one of the attendees.
“I’m Tony Pantera and work at Marcus, Christian, Hardee & Davies. I deal primarily with failed relationships and financial woes, meaning Family Law and Bankruptcy.”
An elevator speech is generally 25 words or less, as is Tony’s. What is your elevator speech? Do you—like Tony—address the potential client’s need or reality? Depending on your listeners and the venue, a sense of humor adds memorable impact to your description.
