Part time v. Full time studying J 27

I am an attorney in NY and NJ considering a move to FL in the next few years. I would like to get admitted there so I don't have to wait to work when I am ready to move. It's very likely I'll want to relocate. I'm just not sure when exactly.

I was thinking about using Themis to do bar prep in my spare time for an extended period of time before the July 27 administration. I work ~55 hours per week in a firm. I was hoping to try to pass without taking time off of work, but was thinking of taking time off to devote to full time study if I fail that administration.

For reference, I took the UBE in NY July 18 after studying for 2 months full time, so part time study would be new to me. New to the process and looking for any thoughts and insight. Thanks.

Seeking Advice from Other Disabled Lawyers

I was recently diagnosed with narcolepsy and also have bipolar disorder. I am adjusting to my medications, but I haven't been able to keep up fully with my billing recently. I work at a larger firm in the northeast doing civil litigation work.

I love my work and firm and never had any issues with billing until the narcolepsy got out of hand and some of the treatments I tried for it exacerbated my bipolar symptoms.

Fortunately, I think I am turning a corner with medication management. But does anyone who has these conditions have any advice on how to cope with them and still be successful in your practice? It's been overwhelming. TIA
