Bar None
for
March 23, 2005
Here's one to keep the kids up at night: I'm a lawyer. No more disclaimer on the email, no more hedging with "I work at a law firm" when asked what I do. I am a lawyer, an attorney, a counselor, a member of the bar. Esquire, thy name is Blue Shoe. And on some level, I'm not surprised or bothered by this. I passed hurdles, both objective (the bar exam) and subjective (the "interview" where they review your application and then patronize you with the need to do pro bono that they never do), and ludicrous (law school, the LSAT, the pain of the bar exam). But on the other hand, though this is the result of years of study and ambition, there is this part of me that is terrified of messing it up, terrified (still worse) of messing someone else up, and just about terrified that this too suggests I might be too old for sight gags and coarse comedy.This was Law , and it appeared on March 23, 2005 1:18 AM.

Congratulations! I have to wait all the way until May 9 and I am so ready for the Esq. to grace my name.

Congrats on the officially new title. I’ve always found it appropriate that “esquire” anagrams into “queries”…
