I studied pretty hard, so I wouldn’t have to think about the high-risk pregnancy. I really enjoyed studying for the Bar; most people wouldn’t say that. I was really excited. I didn’t expect to pass the exam. I had really bad morning sickness. I studied very hard, but I was very sick. You throw up throughout the day. It was pretty brutal.
— Alexandra Murphy, a January 2018 graduate of Florida State University’s College of Law, commenting on what it was like to study for and pass the bar exam with a monochorionic-monoamniotic twin pregnancy, a high-risk diagnosis. “Not sure if I’m the first person to be inducted in a maternity ward but I’m feeling pretty special today,” she wrote on Facebook after she was sworn in on April 20 by 13th Judicial Circuit Public Defender Julianne Holt. Murphy has been hospitalized and under close observation since March 28, and will deliver her children in about two weeks.
