Hi Elmer. Nice site. Very informative. Good job on collating the bar topnotchers.
One quick suggestion though. Have you tried using the “read more” function on wordpress so that your home page is not too long. I see you put in the entire code/laws. It might make your site faster too

I apologize for the very delayed response, Jonathan. Much as I want to comment on your case, I’d rather that we let the Court of Appeals decide on it. Thanks.

Thanks for the visit, web buddy! I’ve been looking for your name in the list (you know what i mean) but the bad me couldn’t recall your real name. Hope to see you on the 14th of April at the PICC! Indeed, good luck to us.

I apologize if i seem to have been spreading unverified information. I just got it from some trusted people. My fault is that i failed to take caution and posted it immediately. Nevertheless, should either the results be out on the 11th or 15th, or the oath-taking be on the 14th of April or any other day, one thing is sure, both will certainly happen, and that both the examinees and their loved ones are eager for the results.

My name is Howard Chan and I am the owner of http://UberDigests.info. This is a young website which was just established May this year. My website provides case digests of landmark Supreme Court decisions.
I am an avid follower of your blog site (or blawg site). I’d just like to inform you that I’ll be putting up a backlink of your site in my site as a recommended resource for visitors. Right now, my site’s content is limited and my visitor’s tend to email me about posting “this case and that case”. Since I don’t have much time to research for them, I’ll just be referring them to your site. You can find the backlink placed in my sidebar.
This will also be good for your site’s SEO.
Have a great day!
