Passed the Bar
As it turns out, I passed the bar exam and will be sworn in shortly. I never received results in the mail, apparently because the court never processed my change of address. So I had to sweat it out until the results were posted on the web.
My immediate reward for passing the bar was these nice balloons. My long-term reward, I suppose, is that I never have to take that particular exam again. It’s a strong incentive to stay put for several years, so if I do move I don’t have to spend several months cramming my head with simplistic legal facts that have, at best, limited application in the real life practice of law.
