Monica did pass a bar exam, she really is a lawyer

I'd previously wondered whether Monica Goodling was actually a lawyer, whether she'd actually passed a bar exam and could legally practice law. I had some trouble finding that out.

According to the Boston Globe she has passed the bar exam in Virginia.

Seven years ago, 60 percent of the class of 1999 -- Goodling's class -- failed the bar exam on the first attempt. (Goodling's performance was not available, though she is admitted to the bar in Virginia.) The dismal numbers prompted the school to overhaul its curriculum and tighten admissions standards.
