“She finished the exam and had her baby, her first, at 5:58 p.m.”

Before the start of the afternoon session on day two (Wednesday) of the Illinois bar exam, the very pregnant MBE mentioned to the proctors the possibility that she might give birth during the test. She asked if she could leave early in the event that she went into labor; they agreed.

So Mother Bar Exam sat down for the afternoon session of the Multistate Bar Exam (“MBE”). Not long after, she started going into labor — not a little discomfort, but full-on labor.

“This was something we joked about with her before the test,” a friend told us. “We didn’t think it would actually happen!”

Fortunately, MBE is as strong as they come.

She’s going to make a heckuva lawyer, with focus like that.

Ha. Try that with the multi-state.

Oh, wait. Wow.

That’s how you #WomanUp, right there.

I went to Baylor Law School’s graduation today as daughter-in-law was a proud graduate. Listening to some of the stories today, there are some tough future female lawyers out there, D-I-L being one of them. She had a baby, our first grandchild, midway through this final year, finished up her studies, and took the Texas Bar this week. Don’t know how she does it all!

That is something of a feat.
Depending on what the definition of is, is.

What, she couldn’t just teleport it through the uterine wall? Amateur.

Beautiful baby, too!

For no particular reason, that reminds me of one of those joke final exams that gets passed around where one of the questions requires you to remove your own appendix.

It only counts if she passes the exam too. ;-)

BierManVA on July 31, 2011 at 9:29 AM

I guess she could use that strategy in the courtroom too.
