I passed the bar exam on my first try but studying for it was very stressful. My law school had a 99% pass rate and while the odds were strongly in my favor and I had already secured a judicial clerkship for which bar admission was not a prerequisite, failing would have been an embarrassment and the thought of having to study for and take the exam a second time was dreadful. When I learned that I passed I breathed a sigh of relief and felt pride, but looking back I regret I did not do what the woman in this video did. I am not talking about becoming visibly emotional but rather thanking and praising Our Lord, Jesus Christ. I am very happy for her.

Congrats to you and to her … it’s a tough thing to do. However, she punched one of my pet-peeve buttons. The term “esquire” is not proper usage for a woman, attorney or not. The title was originally applied to a well-to-do man who had no other title, such as Doctor, Reverend, etc. (Call me sexist, I don’t care 😉)
