Elation is the dominant emotion that I am feeling right now.
Not because I passed the BAR exam again but because a cousin of mine, Viktor Sammuel C. Fontanilla, is one of the lucky few who made it in this years' BAR exam.
The Bar exam is touted as the most difficult government administered exam and the claim probably has merits considering the vastness of the coverage, the unstable format of the exam that has undergone a number of experiments in the past recent years and the pressure that comes with taking the exam considering that it takes a village to make a lawyer.
But amidst all these fun fare and controversies that the surrounds the BAR exam and the degree of difficulty that one undergoes in order to become a lawyer is it still worth it?
The answer is yes. The legal profession is probably the only profession that opens a number of doors for its practitioners. one can choose to be in the private sector or the government. Both options also offers a variety of choices ranging from the staple criminal law practice or the almost non-existent sports law which the recent topnotcher would like to specialize on . It is also one of the professions where the impact to the people you render service is quite palpable. It directly affects their life, liberty and property as the cliche goes.
And despite the fact that a news anchor would like to believe that there are too many lawyers, which based on the statistics shown by Atty. Domondon is not true, it is still worth it to become a lawyer especially a good one.
Congratulations to those who passed the BAR and the people who supported them! :)

Just a super share about slaying the BAR exam dragon. The headline itself is very interesting for those who are having difficulty in passing this test. I too am one of those who is preparing for this test. Just made my mind to join the professional New York Bar Exam Course.
