YLD MEMBERS ENCOURAGE BAR CANDIDATES

YLD members passed out “survival kits” and words of encouragement to applicants taking the February bar examination in both Oklahoma City and Tulsa.  Under the direction of Julia Tiller, chair of the Bar Exam Survival Kit section of the New Attorney Orientation YLD Committee, survival kits were assembled for distribution.  The kits contain items such as ear plugs, water, snacks, pencils, erasers and stress balls for candidates to use while taking the exam.

YLD Chair-Elect Rick Rose and board members Jennifer Kirkpatrick, Joe Vorndran and Lindsey Andrews passed out the survival kits to Oklahoma City test takers. YLD Treasurer Molly Bircher and Board Member Amber Peckio Garrett passed out the kits to Tulsa test takers.  The Board of Bar Examiners, representatives from all three Oklahoma law schools and the test takers themselves expressed their gratitude for the young lawyers and the survival kits they provided.
