Happy New Year everyone, and welcome to my new blog. I have been blogging over at The Law of Cupcakes for almost 2 years now. Despite the ridiculously cute name, my other blog doesn't explore the law at all. That blog is strictly dedicated to baking. This blog, however, will include a law element as well as a baking element. My goal is to tell the world about my experiences as a brand new lawyer.
I have to say that 2010 was a very exciting year for me. I graduated from law school in May and I spent the summer studying for the Delaware and New Jersey bar exams. In October, I found out that I passed the Delaware bar, one of the most difficult bars in the nation. In mid-December, I became the 5,450th person to be admitted to the Delaware bar. As you can see, it's a very small bar. (Oh, and I passed NJ too!)
For the last 20 months, I've been working for a great law firm here in Delaware, Doroshow, Pasquale, Krawitz & Bhaya. While I was in law school, I was working as a law clerk and now I am their newest attorney. You see, I work directly for the "Bhaya" in that group. She has exposed me to numerous different aspects of our practice so, naturally, as soon as I was sworn into the bar, she had big plans for me.
Last week, just 2 weeks after having been sworn into the bar, I represented a client at my very first arbitration. I will explain that process in detail in a post to follow.
It wouldn't be a new year without cake. The cupcake you see above I made for New Year's Eve. It is a classic vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream. To make it extra special, I topped it with edible glitter. The cupcakes sparkled and tasted great. The cupcakes were so good, in fact, that my friend's 2 year old exclaimed "these cupcakes are DELICIOUS!" Of course, he just ate the frosting and left the cake. Enjoy!
