My nephew just called to say he's passed the West Virginia bar exam.

[Lasher]

I am so proud of him.

1. Congratulations to your nephew!

:applause: That's a great accomplishment. Does he have any job prospects yet?

[Lasher]

3. Since he graduated from WVU Law School he's been working for the AFL/CIO.

But now he gets a raise in pay and grade.

12. Yay! Way to go! Congratulations to your nephew, Lasher!

:toast:

[Lasher]

13. Thank you pacalo!

Not bad for a country boy who grew up in the southern West Virginia coalfields.

[Yavin4]

2. Congrats to Your Nephew

What type of law does he want to practice?

[Lasher]

4. He's currently involved in labor law, working for the AFL/CIO.

He enjoys the work and I think he's going to stay with them at least for now.

[Yavin4]

7. Good For Him

It's a great time to be a labor lawyer.

[Lasher]

9. That's another reason I'm so proud of him, he's working on the side of unions.

Mighty fine nephew, yessir.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

[nolabear]

8. Congratulations! No mean feat, that!

Here's to fighting the good fight.

[Lasher]

10. Yep.

Now maybe I can get him to sue people who piss me off in GD.

:D

[MountainLaurel]

11. Woohoo!

Where's he gonna be practicing, in case someone in my fam needs counsel?

[Lasher]

14. The AFL/CIO hired him straight out of law school.

He's gonna stick with them. He's getting a big promotion now, on account of having passed the bar exam.

[MountainLaurel]

20. Lucky them! n/t

[UrbScotty]

15. AWESOME!!! Congratulations to him!

:bounce::party::toast:

[hifiguy]

16. Congrats!

The bar exam is one of the most miserable things one can voluntarily choose to subject oneself to. After I finished it 23 years ago (on a total of 4 hours sleep the nights before) I got so hammered that it took me two hours to find my glasses when I woke up the next afternoon.

:toast:

[Shagbark Hickory]

17. Great another lawyer.

Just what we needed.

Congratulations to your nephhew.

[Bake]

18. Congrats! Does he have a J-O-B?

Hope so!

:hi:

Bake, Esq.

[Lasher]

23. Yes, the AFL/CIO hired him straight out of law school.

[mainegreen]

19. That must have hurt coming out!

I've heard it's worse than passing a kidney stone.

:D

JK. That's a heck of an accomplishment. The amount of studying people put into passing that is impressive.

[hifiguy]

22. Like they say about

hitting yourself in the head with a ball-peen hammer, it feels so good when they tell you to stop. Figure on 8-10 hours per day (including attendance at bar review courses) for two straight months, seven days a week. Ugh. It's the only thing I can remember that made the first semester of law school seem like anything less than sheer hell.

[Bertha Venation]

21. That is terrific news!

:woohoo:
