There is something surprising about this story, and it is not that an adult film star passed the California bar exam.
Women go into porn for many reasons: empowerment, desperation, enjoyment, and everything in between. There are intelligent women in the adult film industry just as there are intelligent women in every industry.
No, what is surprising is that a for-profit, unranked law school has nearly the same bar passage rates as “superior” California state schools. Well done, Western State College of Law at Argosy University, and well done Heather Swift a.k.a. Holly Price.
About That Porn Star
Heather Swift is a 2013 graduate of the Western State University College of Law. She is also a former porn star (known professionally as Holly Price) who is currently employed as a stripper, reports Above the Law. In an email to Above the Law, she said that folks shouldn’t be surprised by her success:
Miriam Weeks, by the way, is the real-life name of the Duke University freshman-turned-porn star who made headlines last year (known professionally as Belle Knox). She has also expressed a desire to become a lawyer some day.
How did I do it? Because unbeknownst to many, women in the adult industry are intelligent and can matriculate through a cutthroat tier 3 law school, and pass the hardest bar exam in history. Unlike Miriam Weeks, I actually did graduate through law school, and I actually did pass the most difficult bar exam on my first attempt.
