Bar Exam Celebration

Lawyers Who Launch

In honor of all of the bar exam takers last week, we are celebrating!

The bar exam is a notorious milestone, for good reason. If you have ever taken the bar exam you understand why it has this reputation. No matter the results, just making in to the point of completing the examination is an accomplishment that cannot be overlooked.

Take this as a sign that you should be celebrating this major achievement. Bar exam eligibility is such a challenge that should not be underestimated.

But we all know that the end of the bar exam marks the beginning of the waiting game of finding out the results. This is brutal and a challenge unto itself. We recommend developing some strategies for what you will tell yourself when those worries and doubts creep in.

It is not just you that wants to know how it went, you have family and friends that have watched you along this journey and they want to know too. Inevitably, well-meaning people will ask you those questions that you are avoiding in your own mind. Plan now for how you will respond so that when they do ask you are prepared. They are not trying to stress you out, they care about you and want to know. A generic response and a swift topic change will hopefully do the trick. For close family and friends you may want to get ahead of it and be more direct about your concerns and your desire not to stew over the results.

A great way to spend the time after the bar exam is working on your network. Whether you have a job now or not, you likely have more time than you did in school. Now is the perfect time to update your network, attend networking events, and intentionally expand your network. The Law Student’s Guide to Networking is a great resource to develop an intentional networking plan.

No matter how you spend your time now - make sure you celebrate!
