The Kiddo PASSED THE BAR EXAM!!!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!  WOO-HOO!!!

Congratulations, Kiddo!!

She is now licensed to practice in two states.

We celebrated long-distance w/ burgers - she had McDonald's, I had Five Guys'.

(Me.  Proud?  Nah... )

Update:

Since Montana is a "Uniform Bar Exam" (UBE) state, she will also have  leg-up on practicing in eleven other states!  UBE state are: 

 Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

States have the option of simply allowing someone to practice, or may add other requirements as they see fit.
