Congratulations, Balzac! An outstanding achievement, that you can be proud of.
Now, go pass the bar and start litigating to rid us of these horrendous victim disarmament laws. We need you badly in MA. |

JD for me. Did it while working full time as an LEO. Not fun, but worth the effort.
Take your GF out for a nice dinner, drink until you can't stand and then hit the BAR (exam that is!). At 40 w/ 2 kids, a mortgage, home equity loan, coaching T Ball, keeping a small practice going and supervising 80 people at work I long to jump back on the educational gray train.[:(] Either that or become a lifeguard. [;)] Good luck and congrats !!! [banana] Edited because Law School did not teach me how to spell. Edited again to ask when is the ARFCOM graduation party? [beer] |

Nice work from one J.D. to another.
Advice: don't get too stressed about the bar. Be confident in what you know. (this is coming from someone who absolutely choked on the first one, and absolutely did not care on the second time around--that's what got me through and helped me pass on the second one, I just was not a bit nervous). Bar/Bri is pretty good, just know it cold. Good luck. Now go get a job where you can have fun and not be stressed every second (i.e. NOT a lawyer!) |

Congrats. on the J.D. I'm still paying law school student loans, myself, and probably always will be. A tip for the bar, only study for the week right before the bar exam. Screw bar review courses. Just get some old multi-states and go through them and your state stuff for about a week, and then take the test. Don't sweat it. Look at all the goofy-ass liberal schmucks out there practicing that passed the bar. Good luck in the job hunt. (the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has an opening for a clerk right now. A judicial clerkship is a fantastic experience and will really help you get a job afterward.)

Shortly after passing the bar decided to go into honest work instead. BTW, you might want to reverse the order of your current priorities. The bar exam is a miserable experience, and you need to keep your wits about you. Or at least within reach. |

Congratulations. I remember graduating from college, it was not as eventufl as High School for some reason.
I started in Pre-Med, then irresponsiblity, shooting pool, partying, bowling, skateboarding, night hikes with a .22, welfare checks from the parents, and drivers license all added up to "there's NO WAY you're gonna be a doctor now!" So I matriculated with some degree that is the polar opposite of my original aspriations, so to speak and now have a job (no, not career) doing something I never expected to be doing. At least my moms proud. As a kid, I used to blab on to my aunts and relatives in front of my mom that I wanted to be a garbage man! Oh, how I loved big trucks back then and hydraulic lift systems...MUHAHAHHAHA! |

Move to Michigan, no CLE, no age limit, no speciality certs....and the courts forgive anything as long as you have your bar card.
I have had other lawyers blow dates by months and still get the default set aside. Oh....and with a 150 you multi state in and they don't even grade your essays. |

Congratulations. HS grad myself. I've taken some colleges classes, and I know I need to finish the BA/BS at least. But I have no desire. Especiallay after watching all the peace-niks during the recent events in Iraq. I'm convinced a "liberal arts" education is just that "Liberal". At 38 years old, serving in the military and been a cop for the past 19 years, I've lived too long in the real world to go back. I'd just argue with the teachers, and tell them their theories are like diarrhea they just don't hold up.

THANKS EVERYONE! This is the first graduation that has really meant something to me, so I appreciate your well wishes!
As far as the job market goes, I'm one step away from being an Assistant District Attorney, so hopefully I get it. The arfcom party is whenever my crew finds it convenient to head out for drinks or whatnot, so i'm guessing sometime after the 18th and i'm good to drink! The really good news.....NO LOANS. Not a single one! YAY ME! |

My niece graduated from University of San Diego Law School and got a job clerking for the County DA while she was taking the BAR. None of the clerks got a DA job though and after beating the bush for a while she got hired by a well-known female criminal attorney here in Orange County and her first case was assisting in a murder trial.. Three other lawyers in the family. |
