Proud Big Sis

I always knew that when my youngest brother Brian told me three years ago that he was accepted into law school that he would succeed and conquer each course with flying colors.  He didn't disappoint.  He spent his first year and a half at a school in Grand Rapids, MI called Thomas M. Cooley School of Law.  The brutal Michigan winters brought him back home to finish his last year and a half.  We were happy he chose to finish at the University of Louisville and knew it would aid him in getting a better job because he would encounter more contacts.  He was lucky in that he was chosen to sit in the chamber with Judge Jim Shake a prominent Circuit Court Judge in Jefferson County.  Brian learned a lot and gained valuable experience while watching the best preside over tough criminal cases.  He is working hard preparing for the bar exam in which he will sit for on July 30th and July 31st.  He's taking Kentucky along with the multi-state exam so he can also practice in Indiana and Ohio.  I know he'll do well on the bar and become a successful lawyer in the coming months and years.  He won't find out if he passed until September so it's going to be a long few months for him.

First one in line.  The last name of Abell is great.
