We're just going to leave this here without much comment.
After all, there's not really anything more we can add to what Florida Bar member @btannebaum has already (so eloquently) written.
Congrats to this young man. Truly.

That case, which came from Florida, revolutionized criminal law throughout the United States. #Gideon

Hey, everyone ... remember the @UFLaw student - Kristin Babik - who was injured in the deadly Las Vegas shooting?
Well, we have an update: She's not only fully recovered -- she GRADUATED over the weekend and walked across the stage with her classmates.
No words ... just 👊.
A survivor of the deadly Las Vegas shooting did not let her injuries stop her from accomplishing her dream. Kristin Babik walked across the stage to receive her degree from @uflaw over the weekend. @NorahODonnell spoke to her just days after the attack:

Dear, #LawTwitter:
Every #BarExam cycle, we seem to find a tweet w/ an INCREDIBLE story behind it.
Meet Ali.
He opened Twitter yesterday, and his 1st tweet was to announce he passed the Bar - then 20 mins later, his wife gave birth to their 1st kid. 😮💪👏👏
#MakeThisGoViral
Sure, finding out you passed the @TheFlaBar your first go around is exciting. Then again the birth of your first child 20 minutes later wins easy. Alice 1, the Florida bar 0. #newdad #newlawyer
