Author Elizabeth Wurtzel graduates from Yale Law at age 39

I love reading about train wrecks.

I love that she did it and she's trying it at 39. YAY! Can't stand her, think she's a hack, but dammit, she stands by it and goes for it. Enormous amount to be said for the commitment and the toughness.

I wonder an assload though about the character and fitness portion of the bar.

Any good stories, as in not listening to editors?

I wonder how she'll be stable enough to practice?

But I still commend Wurtzel for graduating from Yale Law. It's one thing to get in, it's quite another to complete it.

Why did they bitch about her? She does seem very dramatic and self-obsessed.
