famous people who did not pass the Bar Exam

• Who are some famous people who did pass the bar exam

• Answer:

  Hi Judemona, Mitchell McDeere, the character from John Grisham's _The firm_, was the first in his firm's long history to fail the bar. As he's not real, I thought I'd find some others for you. Here's what I found: -------------------------------------------------- You don't get much more well known than John F. Kennedy, Jr. According to CNN, it took him three tries to pass the bar. CNN - John F. Kennedy Jr. http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/1999/kennedy/stories/jfk.profile/ -------------------------------------------------- JFK Jr. tied with Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, who also failed the test twice. American City & County: Incoming USCM president... http://www.americancityandcounty.com/ar/government_incoming_uscm_president/ -------------------------------------------------- Three seems the lucky number: Charlie Crist, presently campaigning and running for Attorney General of Florida, had to take the bar 3 times before he passed. St. Petersburg Times - State: Candidate failed 2 bar exams http://www.sptimes.com/News/090101/State/Candidate_failed_2_ba.shtml OrlandoSentinel.com: State News (cached) http://216.239.51.100/search?q=cache:zyLHdoFw56kC:www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/state/orl-locageneral11101102oct11,0,3699975.story%3Fcoll%3Dorl-news-headlines+%22did+not+pass+the+bar+exam%22&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 Charlie Crist for Florida's Attorney General http://www.charliecrist.com/biography.htm -------------------------------------------------- If three times seems like a lot, you'll love Democrat Kevin A. Callahan (aka Kevin D. Callahan), who nearly won the the 1998 election for Massachusetts Cape and Island District Attorney (46K to 55K votes). He failed the bar 10 times before passing on his 11th try. Apparantly, Mr. Callahan prides himself on not being a 'quitter'. He's even running for the same DA's office this year. Cape Cod Times: News, June 11, 1998 http://www.capecodonline.com/cctimes/archives/1998/june98/6_11_98/polls11.htm Cape Codder: The Race for District Attorney http://www.townonline.com/brewster/news/local_regional/cc_newcadarace10112002.htm -------------------------------------------------- And though he's not well known in the public en masse, 1999 Army Soldier of the Year Nick Scott has certainly been honored in his own realm and is without doubt a role model. He didn't pass the bar on his first try, and shifted focus toward what has become a decorated enlisted career. He only recently retook the test (and passed).
