One of the nicest benefits in working with bar applicants over the many years is to see them “close the circle” in putting the exam behind them and for their families – and then moving on to life’s next great challenge.
The pursuit of this great goal is often a “team sport” – with sacrifice from husbands and wives, significant others and their children, too. Navigating the difficulties presented by law school curriculums, 9-to-5 employment, balancing family priorities and, of course, persisting in the individual belief that everything will work out – are just some of the qualities at the heart of finally making it across the finish line.
