This may seem a little scattered, but there’s just so much to say.

When I first brainstormed ideas for this month’s column, I thought I’d focus on the joys and anxieties of passing the bar exam. But most of you have been through it. You understand how much effort, stress and loss of life function went into preparing for the exam; how nervous you felt in the weeks, days and hours leading up to the release of results; and, now, how almost trivial it all feels. Yeah, I passed. So did almost everyone else who took it, right? So I’m barred in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Done.
