All my friends who retook the bar in February found out they passed a few weeks ago. So congratulations to them. Law school is really, definitely, completely over now.

I've made good on my plans to go solo. I've opened Butterick Law Corporation, where I'm focusing on developing consumer class action claims. I should have some good ones for you in the near future.

Readers, I've kept my promises to you. I did not chicken out at the last minute and go to the thousand-lawyer firm to toil in obscurity. I am here to fight the good fight.

To date, much of solo law practice seems to boil down to two skills: reading carefully and meeting deadlines. (Of course, these are rarer than you'd hope among other attorneys.)

In other words — so far, so good.
