Few stories are as inspiring as Brianna Hill, an Illinois woman who gave birth during the bar examination. The bar is the exam which a lawyer must pass prior to admission to the bar of their jurisdiction. Due to Covid-19 and the exam being postponed to October, Hill had to take the exam at 38-weeks pregnant, which was way further along than she had initially expected. In the middle of the exam, Hill’s water broke- and instead of panicking, she powered through the remainder of the exam.

After delivering the baby, Hill still had been laser focused on finishing the rest of the bar exam. After consulting with her husband, midwife, and doctors – the hospital provided Hill an empty room for her to finish the exam.
