President’s Message: July 26, 2021

This week is the State Bar of California Bar Exam (July 27-28). Do you remember when you took it? Everyone has their stories, some of which have elevated to urban legend status! Have you heard about the tractor-trailer of spilled Cream of Mushroom soup that shut down the freeway the morning of the Bar Exam?? (Did that really happen? Anyone??)

I wanted to give a special shout-out to our soon-to-be colleagues as they prepare to go through this exhausting week. I want you all to know that we’re thinking of you, we believe in you, and we are looking forward to everything that you will bring to the profession.

When you’re ready to come up for air after the Bar Exam, the SDCBA is here to help support your path as you wait for your results. You’ve got a built-in support system with the New Lawyer Division and resources that are ready to help you succeed.

However you are getting ready to navigate the coming week, I hope above all you will be kind to yourself. Take care of yourself, mentally and physically. Stay focused – you are almost there!
