The bar exam is the final hurdle to becoming a licensed attorney in a specific area.
It means that the lawyer has successfully completed the vocational training as well as assessments required to become an advocate who can now represent clients in court.
In a touching video, Temmy's dad is seen brushing his shoes, then his wife and daughter lovingly help him to dress up from the wig to his garb.
"Old age where? Give it up for the latest lawyer in town!" said Temmy excitedly on her page.

Why is Temmy's dad's CV impressive?
Temmy also flaunted her father's CV, which had been updated and from the document, it emerged that the middle-aged man had first studied business administration, LLB Bachelor of Laws, MSc (Master of Science) in Peace and Conflict Resolution and BL (Barrister at Law).
Some people were also shocked and impressed to learn that Temmy's dad is also going for a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) in Political Science (in view).
A man identified as Moses Jolaoso acknowledged that the middle-aged man was his classmate, who used to keep a seat for him in class.
"Awww, Mr Ayilara! I hope I got his name correctly. Your dad was my seat partner in Abuja campus last year. Used to keep seats for me most times once he comes to class before me; a very good man and father to us. Please, send my warm regards to him," he said.
What does failing the bar exam mean in Kenya?
Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, competition law expert Vellha Kigwiru, who is based in Germany, acknowledged that passing the bar exams is a very big deal but there are times people fail.
"Some people give up and just opt for other careers or just woke in lower ranks within law firms. Some people, on the other hand , prefer to fight on and keep takig resits. Some become succesful while others never make it," she said.
"Resits used to be KSh 10,000 with three as max number of resits," said Vellah.

Danstan Omari graduates at 40
In another story, Danstan Omari shared how he went back to Form Three after he failed in Form Four at Kiabonyoru High School and now he is a lawyer.
Omari said that although he passed, his admission letter disappeared when he was supposed to join Kangema High School for Form Five and Six.
He ended up in Kiambu private school where he studied Form Five and Form Six. His performance was good enough to study Law.
When Omari's results came out, he had been called for a Bachelor of Education at Kenyatta University, despite selecting Law.
