Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pearce Micro Review?
The Pearce Micro Review is an innovative new bar review program that combines substantive law with issue-spotting and organization development. It provides a solid review of the MBE subjects and Remedies, and it includes substantive lectures and more than 40 bar exam hypotheticals.
How much does it cost?
We are presenting the complete substantive video seminars on-line for free.
A commercial version of each seminar is available for immediate download for $29.95. There is roughly an additional hour of video content in the download edition of each seminar, along with written materials. The written materials include Micro Review outlines and six hypothetical questions per subject. The materials come in PDF and Rich Text Format. They are designed to be used actively, not merely studied.
What’s the difference between the Micro Review and other substantive bar review programs?
The Micro Review is shorter, more narrow in scope, more practical, and drastically less expensive than programs offered by the corporate bar review companies.
How does the Micro Review help me pass the bar exam?
The Micro Review is designed so you can work on your own schedule but still have an interactive program. It encourages you to become an active learner, by focusing your attention on what you don’t know and by using hypothetical fact patterns to sharpen your issue-spotting and organization skills. The Micro Review helps you learn how to think about the most important and frequently tested issues on the bar examination.
What do I get if I become a member, and what does it cost?
Membership costs $99 for one month or $399 for six months. Subscribers get access to the premium versions of both the Pearce Micro Review and the Master Essay Method, along with a discount price for tutorial services.
How does it work?
The Pearce Micro Review is designed to be as practical a black letter review as possible. The outlines are based on those of the National Conference of Bar Examiners, and the video seminars generally follow the order of the outlines.
The most common mistake made by bar candidates is to study too much and not practice enough. That’s why we encourage our students to use a word processor to edit and expand the RTF version of the outlines, based on what they learn in practice.
There’s no good reason to spend a lot of time studying complicated outlines in the abstract, nor is there any reason to reinvent the wheel and create your own outline from scratch. But there are excellent reasons to add information to a basic outline after doing some MBE or essay practice. Annotating an outline with this information reinforces your law knowledge in the most practical way.
