Kay, I did not agree with Jose when he gave the 100% statistics (sounded exaggerated, although Jose remarked afterwards that he was not referring to the 100% of the LLM students, but to the ones who had followed OCS´s guidelines, etc.), but sometimes I think your comments sound too bitter... Would you mind sharing with us your personal experience?

I think they can take the Californian bar. Indeed, you don't even need a US degree to sit the CA bar.
