Congratulations Jeremy!
Jeremy Richey passed the Illinois bar exam! If you’ve got a minute, stop by and wish him the best!
I know a couple of other people who took the Illinois bar in July; I haven’t heard from them but here’s hoping they got the same good news Jeremy got.
Also, congratulations to imbroglio reader PG who learned last week that he/she passed the Indiana bar exam.
It’s true that lots of people pass the bar, but trust me, there’s really not much that compares to finally getting that confirmation that you’re really done, that you’ve successfully completed the long, expensive, and rather demanding process of becoming credentialed to practice law.1 So if you know someone who recently passed, or if you soon learn about someone who passed,2 be sure to give them a kind word. Better yet, The Disassociate has the perfect congratulations card.
- Unfortunately, even after you’ve passed the bar exam, you can’t actually practice law (meaning you can’t give legal advice or sign legal documents or appear in court unsupervised) until you’ve paid a few hundred dollars to your state’s bar association and you’re “sworn in” and thereby licensed by your state’s bar association. My boss keeps saying I better hurry up and “get sworn at” so I can really get to work.↩
- I expect, for example, that Monica, Energy Spatula, Beanie, Half-Cocked, AP, and many others will be getting some good news soon. Sadly, it looks like if you took the NY Bar like Luminous Void, you’ll have to wait until November to hear.↩

CA is the very last state to release its results — about a week after NY.
congrats again on passing! I hope I know the same feeling… it’s only about 6 weeks away. (eek!)
