Dear July 2009 Bar Exam Takers:

Over the past few months we couldn’t help but notice that we see you a lot less.  There have been fewer movie nights, dinners, weekend barbeques, we’re playing man-down in tennis (which believe us, is no fun when you’re playing doubles) and haven’t you missed like four weddings and a bar mitzvah this summer?   And when it was a struggle to get you out to catch Fourth of July fireworks, we knew it was serious, I mean aren’t you always quoting random res ipsa loquitur cases and assumption of risk premises from your Torts class—which, by the way, for a long time we thought was a baking seminar.  I mean, don’t get us wrong, we would rather see you when you are relaxed rather than the stressed out ball of energy we admittedly tried to avoid whenever law school final exams loomed nearby.

So, next week–game night, our place.  Since we can’t actually help you with passing the Bar, we can at least play the board game to commemorate it.  And if it’s anything like Monopoly, we can’t wait to collect the $2M settlement when passing Go.

Good luck, Bar Takers—we hope to retire this game in a few short weeks!
