A gifted Florida teenager has made history across the pond.
Gabrielle Turnquest, from Windermere, has demonstrated superior academic prowess to become the youngest person to qualify as a barrister in the U.K.
She was called to the Bar of England and Wales after passing her exams with flying colors at just 18.
What makes this achievement even more extraordinary is that the average lawyer undertakes the notoriously rigorous Bar Professional Training Course when they are 27, according to The University of Law records.
“I am honored to be the youngest person to pass the Bar exams but, really, I was not aware at the time what the average age was,” the 18-year-old said in an interview. “I didn’t fully realize the impact of it.”
The high-flying teen, who aspires to be a fashion law specialist, took the course at the University of Law, along with her older sister Kandi, who also passed the exams at the age of 22
