Woman, 70, earns law degree

Sandra Wilson graduated from law school in May at age 70. Now she’s studying for the bar exam and preparing to look for a job.

Wilson raised three children before she went back to Florida State University, where she graduated in 2009. The next year, she made the bold decision to move to Montgomery, Ala., to attend Faulkner University.

“I lived there for three years,” Wilson told the News Herald of Panama City. “I never lived by myself. I left my parents’ home when I married my husband (Steve).”

Her husband was fully on board with the decision to go to law school.
