Dennis Larbi's journey to the California Bar
In a Facebook post on Friday, May 15, the former SRC President at the University of Cape Coast and a member of the NPP’s Manifesto Committee for the 2024 elections reflected on his journey to becoming a lawyer in the US.
“I walked into the René C Davidson Courthouse in California with such calmness of heart, knowing that God has truly shown me mercy. A journey that started a couple of years ago, with a casual conversation and me sharing it as a joke, is here. This has been some of the toughest times of my life in all spheres, financially terrorising, physically, mentally and academically. This has been extremely draining, pushing me to limits I have never been. But we are tough seeds, aren’t we?”
He spoke about how challenging it was to balance his Bar exams in the US with other academic pursuits simultaneously.
“This has been a worthy hiatus. At some point, I was pursuing my LLM in the US while completing my Master’s programme at UG, and at the same time, dealing with navigation and prep for ogyam (that’s how I call the California Bar Exams). Wait for the LLM graduation, I will serve that one too, hot hot.
“What complicated the journey to the Bar is the myth and fear surrounding the California Bar. No one sounded positive and the data explained why. For foreigners, it was as if it is automated to focus on multiple attempts. One day, I will share the details of that story well. But nothing mattered. At a point, I didn’t care about anything, not even my health.”
He, however, expressed gratitude to all those who played a role in ensuring that his dream of being called to the California Bar became a reality.
“I owe so many people on this particular journey, and these debts are far more precious than money. I owe people who understood that I had to do this and understood the sacrifice. My family and friends. And the people I had to ghost on Momo."
