Ironically, Turnquest isn’t the only child in her family to pass the UK Bar exam. Her sister, Kandi, also took the same course and passed the bar at the age of 22.

  1. She passed the bar exam at a private college - this doesn't make her a barrister - she is at no Inn and therefore cannot be called to the Bar in the UK!
