Now it’s time to walk into the Tampa Convention Center with the quiet confidence of knowing you have prepared. Let your composure, your confidence, and yes...your swagger make it clear that FAMU Law didn’t come just to take the bar. We came to compete.

You got this!

Associate Provost Howard

All the best,

Professor Dew

I have been and will continue to hold each of you in prayer as you walk into what lies before you.

Humble confidence.

This was my constant prayer as I prepared my mind and heart to sit for my boards over 14 years ago. I wanted to be trained to help people, just like each one of you. I longed to offer massage, bodywork & peace to the world. I’ve been able to do just that and my heart feels full every day I get to lay my hands on people and listen to their bodies.

So I can understand the probable nerves, anxiety, and fears. But you got this! I believe in you! There are SO many people who believe in amazing you.

Deep breath.

Humble confidence.

Deep breath.

…and trust.

Holding you so close in prayer,

Take a deep breath, close your eyes for a second to meditate, or even pray for recall then start.

Don’t skip long questions and you will be rewarded. Last, acronyms are your best friend.

much love, Miss Monica-Legal Clinics

I have had the privilege of watching your journey since you entered law school as 1Ls, and I have been honored to witness your growth every step of the way. I seen the challenges you’ve overcome, celebrated your successes, and encouraged you through this journey.

I know you have what it takes to succeed—you would not have made it this far otherwise. As you prepare to take the Bar Exam, know I am here to support in whatever capacity you need.

Remember: Strike, strike, and strike again! Rattlers for Justice

Your biggest cheerleader,

Mrs. Jackson

Let's get this thing done and finish your journey toward becoming amazing attorneys!

The whole FAMU community is behind you!

Best wishes from Professor Consalo

Having been in your position, I am familiar with the variety of emotions you all are experiencing. Do not fear walking into the exam room. I assure you, if you have gotten this far then you are more than capable of becoming an attorney. Trust in your own God given capabilities. Each of us alumni are very proud of all the work you have done and the legacy you will continue building for FAMU after you have successfully completed this exam.

With all my support,

Michael Jimenez, Esq.

Go in confident and just go for it, even if you’re afraid like I was!

I didn’t get it on my first try (or 2nd), so if anyone is in the same boat retaking it, feel free to reach out to me (cassidymauth@gmail.com) for help/advice on what made the difference for me when I finally passed! (I have ADHD so I had some unique challenges to overcome as well). We’re all here for you and rallying around our fellow Rattlers :)

The bar exam is not the measure of your potential—it's an opportunity to showcase the knowledge, resilience, and determination you've built throughout law school.

Trust your preparation, believe in yourself, and take it one question at a time. No matter what, remember that your FAMUly is cheering you on every step of the way.

You've worked hard for this moment. Now go shine and show the world what Rattlers are made of!

With Rattler pride,
Serena Sampson
Program Support Assistant 💚🧡

Looking forward to seeing you in the Moot Court Room in September.

You will do this!!!!

You’ve spent months pouring your energy, focus, and determination into this moment. The Florida Bar exam isn’t just a test of knowledge—it’s a testament to your resilience, discipline, and belief in yourself. Know this:

• You are prepared.

• You are capable.

• You are stronger than your doubts—trust God.

Breathe deep, stay alert, and show the Florida Bar exam what it means to Strike, Strike, and Strike Again!

Charles M. Holloman II, Esq.

C/O 2005

You have been given a promise, so walk boldly in knowing the one that gave the promise is more than able to fulfill it.

You must remember that every dream, every grade, every late-night studying, every tear shed, every financial payment, every mind battle, every closed door, every wrong answer, every traffic jam, every sick day, every hurricane closure day, every friendship that ended, every heartbreak and most importantly EVERY PRAYER has led you to this very moment.

Believe without doubting that "Your Appointed Time Is Now" and know what is understood need not be explained!

Blessings To You All,

Andrea Woodfolk

Registrar Officer

You have already accomplished so much. You passed your classes, graduated from law school, and put in the work to prepare for this moment. Trust yourself and the preparation that brought you here!!

Keep striking from the top!!!

All the best,

As you can see from all the messages from the FAMU Law community, you are surrounded with prayers and good wishes as you STEP BOLDLY into that room to take the Bar exam. Take it all with you. Have confidence that the prep and practice and instruction and the effort you've put in have fully prepared you to ROCK THIS TEST!

I have every faith in you. We have every faith in you. Now, have faith in yourselves.

On this final weekend before the exam, give yourselves a day to step away, to relax, to meditate, to pray, to enjoy the love of the people around you. Breathe out any stress; breathe in confidence and calm assurance.

I will be there on Tuesday morning to cheer you on. And I can't wait to be there to see you take the Oath of Attorney in September.

Much love 🧡💚
