Caring Judge Helps Calm A Fussy Baby

In this video, a caring judge helps calm a fussy baby while his mother was given the oath of admission in a Tennessee court room.

1-year-old Beckham Lamar was able to see his mother, Juliana, take her very last step before becoming a lawyer.

“To have my son right there witnessing his mom take the oath with him standing right there helping swearing me in, it was amazing,” Juliana says. “It’s probably a moment I will never forget.”

While Beckham was starting to get a little fussy during the procedure, like babies can do, the judge stepped in to help alleviate the situation.

“He went and grabbed Beckham and said ‘Ok, I want you to help me with this,’” Juliana explained.

The tender moment was captured by one of Juliana’s law school friends, and she shared it to social media. The video shows the end result of many days and nights of hard work and determination.

“It was amazing. This was a moment I’ve dreamed of for a very long time,” shares Juliana. “During my pregnancy, I didn’t know how I was going to get to this end goal. I didn’t know the path way, I didn’t know how I was going to do it. But that moment was everything coming together.”

Juliana Lamar is now working as a law clerk and hopes to one day become a sports and entertainment or corporate lawyer. She encourages everyone to stick with their dreams, even when the road becomes difficult.

“God placed you in that position for a reason,” she shares. “Don’t give up on yourself. There will definitely be nights that you’re crying, that you’re questioning yourself, you don’t know if you can do it, you feel guilty, you’re wondering if you’re making too many sacrifices. You’re going to have a moment just like I had, swearing in, when you just know that it was all worth it.”
