Write the Right Way for the Bar Exam

So, you're taking a Bar prep course. You're studying the law. And you're scoring 50s and 55s on your practice essays.

It's frustrating to get those graded practice exams back with the word "ANALYSIS!" written or typed next to what you were pretty sure was analysis! Like, what the hell is "analysis" supposed to mean, and why didn't the grader explain further? After all, you're paying extra for all of this.

This is where I'm hoping I can help.

After years of helping people pass the Bar, I've finally put it all in one place via my course, The Essay-Writing Formula. 

All of my tips for writing better Bar essays are in this course. It includes everything that I wish I would have known back when I was studying for the Bar. I even paid one tutor thousands of dollars for near to nothing; it was beyond maddening.

In this course, I teach Bar candidates how to put it all together because knowing the law is only the first step. You have to know how to write for the Bar examiners, so you need an insider's perspective.

I have this course at a price where I basically break even because this is a passion project. Essentially, this course (and the one for the Performance Test) are gifts to my prior self. When I was studying for the Bar, I was flat broke. I do not come from wealthy parents. I was a waitress for 10 years before going to law school. So, this course is what I wish I would have had for my prior self. It's a labor of love for those who need a helping hand without the ridiculous price tag.

You can find the course HERE, and I hope that this gives you some peace of mind!

Until next time...

How I Passed the California Bar Exam (CBX)

I just received an awesome comment by an anonymous person on a blog that I am deciding to delete ("What I Should Have Done the First Time I Took the CA Bar").  I am deleting that video because I recorded it regarding the preparation for my second attempt at the bar, before learning of my results. Now, that I have passed, I believe I'm in a better position to adequately respond the the kind comment by Anonymous, which stated: " Hi Jessie, I once read your ask why twice article a while back while I was in law school. Coincidentally, I found you in the comments from Grand Poobah's blog. I really like your writing style. You have a very clear thought process. Congrats on the bar exam. I hope you will tell us about what you did this time around. You should definitely blog about being a practicing lawyer when you get sworn in, too. It's tough out there (in the job market). " Awwww!  :D So, without further ado, here is my blog about precisely what I did...

Tips for Working Bar-Takers and Details on Writing Rules & Analyses

THIS POST IS A RESPONSE TO A COMMENT ON THIS BLOG ENTRY . Q: Brandon writes, "I just wanted to say that I REALLY appreciate you posting your input on passing the bar. I myself am I repeat taker of the California bar (failed July 2011) and am looking to re-take it in Feb. This time around I, like you, work full-time and I have a 7 week old daughter. So, I was hoping that you might be able to provide a little more insight on what you did in order to pass due to time constraints along with some of the tips you got from the tutoring you received in regard to essay writing. I hope I am not asking too much. Any comments will be greatly appreciated! Thanks again!" A: Hi, Brandon. :) I'm sorry it's taken me a bit to get back with you (work has been a never-ending series of fires to put out lately).  Alas, here's my response. I.  MAKE AS MUCH TIME AS YOU CAN FOR STUDYING. Having a baby, I imagine, brings the difficulty of studying to a real head. To be very candi...

Tutoring Info for the California Bar Exam (CBX)

I have had multiple requests to tutor some of the visitors to this blog. Mostly, this has regarded preparation for the California Bar Exam (CBX for short), especially the written portions.   Back when I was taking the Bar, I was soooo frustrated that I couldn't find any good, substantive information about how to take the CBX without having to pay $5,000 - $10,000 for a full bar course!  It sucked. I mean, I knew that I had to know the law, but there is so much more to the "how" of taking the Bar than learning the elements of a ton of legal issues. This fits in with the general theme of this blog in that I like to address the "hows" of law school, the Bar, and other things because, frankly, this information is absent (at least, for the most part, and if existent at all, you usually have to pay a premium in the hopes of getting the "how" that should be taught in the first place!).   I also remember feeling so frustrated as a Bar-taker that I c...
