Um, who is this "We?" Forgive me for being out of the loop, but who is Eve?
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
His delightful wife.
Edit: Oh, wait. You're joking, aren't you? *smacks self in forehead*
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Dags' wife. [Dangit, too slow!]
Oh, and congrats again, you two! Posted by JennaDean (Member # 8816) on :
Oh, that's wonderful, Dag! Congratulations! Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :
Congrats Dag and Eve! Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
Thanks, everyone!
I'm now preparing a wonderful "I told you so" dinner for my lovely wife who does not realize how smart she is.
Whole Foods rocks for quickly putting together a nice meal with little prep: lime-tequila salmon cakes, roasted tomatoes and goat cheese, and a romaine hearts salad.
I'm not a lawyer yet - they have to finish the character and fitness investigation and then there's the swearing in. Posted by GaalDornick (Member # 8880) on :
Congratulations, Dagonee and Eve.
So did you lose your sense of humor yet or does that come after the swearing in? Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :
Congratulations.
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
I second the sentiment of "I'm not at all surprised, but congratulations!"
Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
My most sincere congratulations!
May this trend of accomplishment continue!

I am actually wearing a hat, and I have doffed it!

Congratulations, Dagonee and Eve. Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :
Watch, Now Dag is going to start charging us by the minute whenever he participated in a legal discussion.
Posted by Nighthawk (Member # 4176) on :
Never thought I'd be celebrating the creation of 1019 new lawyers...
Congrats!
Posted by Lalo (Member # 3772) on :
Awesome, dude! Do they release the results? Twenty bucks says you're in the top percentile.
Posted by Uprooted (Member # 8353) on :
Fantastic!! And dinner sounds great.

Rounded up to the nearest 15 minutes.

We turn it in along with our souls when we get our bar ID picture taken. It's very efficient.
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
Ah, this is amazing and wonderful.
Congratulations to Eve and Dagonee!
Woo HOOOOOOOOOOO!

So just the one sense of humor between the two of you then?
Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :
I was wondering when I'd see a thread title like this:) Awesome! *high-fives* to the both of you.
Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
Wow, seems like not that long ago that you started down this road. To me, at least. All I've done is move twice and some other stuff.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
We really need to get this thread adjacent to Belle's colonoscopy thread.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by Mrs.M (Member # 2943) on :
Congratulations to both y'all! I am also not surprised.
They're out early - Andrew didn't get his results back until Thanksgiving (he passed). Of course, this was 10 years ago in NY.
Did you get your suspenders yet? All Southern (male) lawyers have to wear suspenders. They'll probably issue them to you at the swearing in.
Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :
That is so wonderful! I didn't doubt that it would happen, though. Mega Congrats to both of you!
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
Also not a bit surprised at either of you passing...
Fantastic! Congrats! Wooohoooooo! Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
Congratulations!
(*chuckles at Elizabeth*)
Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :
Congrats to both of you!!!
Posted by Glenn Arnold (Member # 3192) on :
One more who isn't surprised in the least.
Also, Dag:
Last year I had a remedial math student who basically refused to do any work. Part of my class is to put together a portfolio to present to their parents. One of the assignments in the portfolio was to write an essay describing a career that the student was interested in and how math related to that career.
This particular student decided he was going to be a lawyer (because he didn't see how lawyers would need to do math). After I took him to a career fair where the lawyers told him about wills and divorce settlements, he told me that the only math he would need to do is adding and subtracting.
About that time you started a thread on a logic question. Something that related to the sentencing phase, IIRC. I printed out the whole thread, and gave it to him, along with a Math website on your basic inverse, converse and contrapositive (to prove that it really was math).
Long story short is that it shut him up, and his essay actually sounded like he finally believed he was going to have to learn math. That was a culminating project, so it was the end of the year. I'm curious to see if it stuck with him.
But anyway, I thought you might be interested to know that.
And congratulations!! Both of you!
Posted by larisse (Member # 2221) on :
Congratulations to both of you. Here's to sailing through the rest of the process. Can't wait to see your "Happy Swearing In Day" thread.
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
That's very cool, Glenn. Math is a big help - wills, divorce, sentencing, contracts, DNA, fingerprinting, torts. Not to mention finance and accounting, which are both useful for most types of attorneys.
It's possible - not likely, but possible - that the OJ trial would have turned out different had someone with a modicum of statistics been on the prosecution team.
Beyond that, the way of thinking one hones in math is very useful in law. Formal data design and normalization - which has its basis in set algebra - gets the mind working in a way that is incredibly useful in learning law.

I was thinking it was pretty funny when it was at the top, below the sticky thread.
We've been calling relatives and answering the phone "House of the Two Lawyers." Of course, we're not lawyers yet, but I think we'll be OK. Posted by vwiggin (Member # 926) on :
Congratulations! Posted by Celaeno (Member # 8562) on :
This is great to hear, Dag. Congratulations to you both!
Maybe I'll get to start an "I PASSED" thread in a few years. Posted by Lissande (Member # 350) on :
Excellent work. Also not surprised, but take a big, fat CONGRATULATIONS anyway. Posted by Dead_Horse (Member # 3027) on :
Of course, you did! Congratulations again! Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
quote:It's possible - not likely, but possible - that the OJ trial would have turned out different had someone with a modicum of statistics been on the prosecution team.
Heh. I'll agree with the "not likely", for sure. I remember everyone staying in from morning break (I was in Jr. HS at the time) and watching news reports waiting for the verdict to be announced-- and both hoping that justice was served but also kind of knowing that if he was found guilty there would be more riots-- and no one wanted that, we all remembered the riots.
I think it was very politically expedient for him to get off. (Not saying it was right.)
Sorry for the slight digression. Congratulations to you both, I never doubted you would pass. Posted by DarkKnight (Member # 7536) on :
CONGRATULATIONS! After reading your a lot of your posts in this forum, I will echo what everyone else is saying... I never doubted you would pass! Congratulations to both of you!
Posted by Flaming Toad on a Stick (Member # 9302) on :
Does this mean Dag should change his profile to say "Lawyer" instead of "Law Student"? Congrats to Dagonee and Eve.
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
YAY!!!!!!!!
Posted by Jim-Me (Member # 6426) on :
Much 'ray for...
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
As of yesterday, I'm a licensed attorney. I have some business registration things to do before I practice, but I'm officially a lawyer now.
Eve has to take the MPRE before she gets her license, but it's an entirely different beast than the bar exam. They recommend you study for 24 total hours, it's only 60 multiple choice questions, and the passing score is 85 out of a range of 50-150. So it's basically a formality to demonstrate you've read the rules of professional ethics at some point.
So she's got minor hoops left, and I'm a lawyer!

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
I am so impressed. You two are going to set the world on fire. ...
And then have to testify against one another.
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
We have absolute privilege to refuse to testify against each other in a criminal case.
Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
True story
Way to go Dag!
