If you are a bar exam candidate or a law student who is looking for a logical, consistent approach to issue spotting and legal analysis, you’ve come to the right place. There are no gimmicks or shortcuts. If you want to be successful on the bar exam, you need to know more than the black letter law. You need to understand how the material is tested. Practice is central to success.
If you are a person who is interested in the law, the materials published here can serve as a detailed introduction into the topics that legal education is built around. The reasoning and writing skills we work on in law school are useful in any field. All of them require study and practice. You can learn a great deal about the law from the content here at passthebar.com, without spending three or four years and a king’s ransom in borrowed money for a legal education.
The most common mistake is to not practice enough!
This is the primary lesson I have to offer you, based on decades of experience working with students on the bar examination. The best way to prepare for the bar exam, and indeed the best way to learn the law, is through a program of guided study and practice.
