The final hoops

 
When you try to become a lawyer, you have to jump through a bunch of hoops.

You know - go to law school, listen to professors try to confuse you and back you into a corner of their Socratic Method of questioning, take a bunch of exams on stuff that you'll never use in practice, then apply to take the Bar Exam, take the Bar Exam, which is miserable, and then once you pass, you still have to show up in court and motion the judge to let you practice law.

Well friends. I finally finished all of the hoops. I was hoping that I could get sworn in from D.C., but that was a no go. So I visited Michigan to get sworn in. I can now officially practice law!! :)

 The judge and I after I'm official.
I'm kind of a big deal in my family.
 
 
Now I'm on to happy lawyering.
