Several famous people have struggled with passing the bar exam, which goes to show that such challenges can happen to anyone, regardless of their later successes:

1. **Michelle Obama** - Former First Lady Michelle Obama failed the Illinois bar exam on her first try but passed on her second attempt.

2. **Hillary Clinton** - Former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton passed the Arkansas bar but failed the District of Columbia bar exam.

3. **Franklin D. Roosevelt** - The 32nd President of the United States failed the New York bar exam on his first attempt but later passed.

4. **Jerry Brown** - The former Governor of California initially failed the California bar exam before eventually passing.

5. **John F. Kennedy Jr.** - He failed the New York bar exam twice before passing on his third try.

6. **Kathleen Sullivan** - A notable legal scholar and former dean of Stanford Law School, she failed the California bar exam on her first try but passed subsequently.

These individuals illustrate that early setbacks can be overcome with persistence and dedication.

I was clerking for a federal judge when Gerry Spence had a case before another judge at the court. I got to observe him during several hearings and I sat close enough to hear him talking to his clients. He was very strange. At one point he told his clients not to sit next to each other so the feds didn’t tack on a conspiracy charge. He had a smile on his face but he was dead serious. His clients moved away from each other after he said that.
