Today was an absolutely amazing day. Today was the day we were sworn in by the Arkansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Hannah. It was simply amazing to be part of the group that has come so far from such humble beginnings. I was one of about 152 people who passed the Arkansas Bar Exam in …

Back to the Scene of the Crime
Today, for the first time ever, I get to sit out on our back patio and read something I want to read, a.k.a not a law school book. It feels absolutely spectacular outside, both because of my new-found freedom and because the weather is absolutely amazing. This has been both one of the coolest and …
Day One is Done, Whatever the Consequences
Well, day one of bar exam hell is in the bag. Whatever the consequences may be, I gave it all I had and it took just as much from me. I feel worn down, beaten with a stick, stuck with a hot poker, or whatever other cliché term you can think of for this particular …
A Change in the Works
Tonight, as I contemplate the final five study days before the bar exam, before me now, I look back at how far I’ve come and how far I’ve yet to go – in life. I had a professor in law school who was amazing. (I had several, but this is the subject of my blog …
< 10
For the first time, my “bar exam counter” shows less than 10 days left to study before the bar exam. Scary as that may seem, I know I can do it. I may not pass, but I am giving it everything I have. We will see if it’s enough on September 6 at approximately 4pm. …

Three Hour Tour of Constitutional Law
I just survived a three-hour tour of constitutional law, which has to be one of the most boring subjects I have ever studied, other than possibly a college class I have chosen to forget. It’s a necessary evil for the bar exam, but it makes one want to pull one’s hair out from the roots …
A Busy Month
This month will prove to be one of the busiest I have had in a long time. Not only am I graduating from law school and finally achieving that dream I have had for so long, but I am also moving as we have sold our house. Since we just bought our land and haven't …
Tonight is the Night
Tonight is the night I have waited for for the past four years, really longer than that. Tonight my dream becomes real. Tonight is my last class of law school. Two open book finals and graduation are all that are left for this to be in the books. How do I feel? How does one …
