So, four feminists walk into a bar…

by Holly on 7.28.2008 · 19 comments

…exam, the New York State Bar exam to be precise — a lot of aspiring lawyers are taking it tomorrow and Wednesday. And if I’m not mistaken, our very own Jill Filipovic will be among them! Several of my other friends are taking it as well, so this film clip is dedicated to all of you, especially those of you who want to become public defenders. Remember to get some sleep tonight and eat a good breakfast! Good luck, break a leg! Habeas corpus, subpeona duces tecum, tort tort tort!

1 PhysioProf 7.28.2008 at 7:38 pm: Good luck, Jill!!
2 Anna 7.28.2008 at 8:13 pm: Aw, I was hoping for a legally blonde clip. :)

Jill, I believe in you!
3 Jill 7.28.2008 at 9:06 pm: Aww, thanks Holly! (And Anna! And PhysioProf!). I definitely need all the help I can get…

See you all back on the blog on Thursday when this is over!
4 amandaw 7.28.2008 at 9:30 pm: I know these sorts of exams are the kind you’re supposed to rend garments and gnash teeth over, but Jill, study though you may, at least feel confident knowing that you are GOING to pass it. There’s pretty much been no indication to me that that’s ever been in question. So basically, I hope you’ve already planned out your celebration party ahead of time ;)
5 elle 7.28.2008 at 9:55 pm: Good luck, Jill… though I’m sure you don’t need it ;-p
6 Isabel 7.28.2008 at 10:03 pm: Jill, I would offer my good luck, but if you are reading this before the exam, GET TO BED, WOMAN, YOU HAVE A TEST TO TAKE.
7 Hugo 7.28.2008 at 10:40 pm: Best of luck, Jill. You’ve got so many people with you, all believing in you completely.
8 Harrison 7.28.2008 at 11:15 pm: I echo the comments above. Go get ‘em! But I, too, hope you are already sawing logs, and wake up well-rested and ready to ace the Bar Exam! (I’m a layperson, so there’s probably a more accurate term than “ace the Bar Exam”, but you know what I mean!) And be sure to come back and tell us all about it!
9 KaeLyn 7.29.2008 at 2:19 am: Goooood luck, Jill! Hope you are soundly in bed by the time this comment is posted, but I’ll be sending you good thoughts tomorrow and Wednesday.
10 Tlonista 7.29.2008 at 4:00 am: Good luck, Jill!
11 Holly 7.29.2008 at 4:24 am: Excellent clip! Good luck to all of those taking the exam!
12 Caroline 7.29.2008 at 6:39 am: Good luck Jill, all the best! :)
13 NormaJ 7.29.2008 at 8:14 am: Good Luck, Jill!! I can’t believe we have to take one more standardized test before we can really be lawyers :P
14 mustelid 7.29.2008 at 11:15 am: Good luck, Jill!
15 Jack 7.29.2008 at 12:13 pm: Well, Jill and the other bar-taking folks probably won’t be reading this at this point, but good luck to you all! Kick ass the way you know you can!
16 RyanRutley 7.29.2008 at 3:37 pm: A bit off topic, but I’ve been re-watching Freaks and Geeks, and I’m convinced it’s the best thing that’s ever been on tv.

And Jill, slay it.
17 CaliSurfer 7.29.2008 at 4:11 pm: Jill! We have the faith! Show them what you’re made of!
18 Renee 7.30.2008 at 3:53 pm: Best Of Luck Jill..
19 octogalore 7.31.2008 at 12:42 am: Good luck Jill!

And good luck to the other Bar takers, whether they want (or can afford) to be public defenders, or not.
