Best wishes and condolences

For most people the words above usually accompany the death of a loved one, but they are the best words I can offer to recent law grads who have taken or are taking the bar exam. We acknowledge that it’s a horrible experience, that it doesn’t really guarantee your professional success (or even competency), and that it’s little more than a tortuous barrier to entry. But every lawyer has to do it at some point, unless they go to school and practice in Wisconsin. Best of luck to everyone still taking it. And for those of you who already took it and feel terrible, these bar exam horror stories might cheer you up. Or make you cry.

Great stories, all around. Thanks for the link.
Having just finished the California Bar Exam yesterday, I can’t think of a more appropriate thing to say to a recent bar examinee than “best wishes and condolences.” It was easily one of the worst experiences of my life.
