Fleming's Funamental of Law Testimonials

Passed the Bar at 19!

Fleming’s Ultimate Bar Tutorial was my key to success on the California Bar Exam on my first attempt!

Prof. Fleming told me how to think and how to focus, and gave me tools for staying centered when the pressure was on. I knew from Day 1 that my success was dependent on how well I followed directions… So, I just did what I was told. It paid off!

Ani Avedisian , Esq.
Whittier Law School

Thank you for being an outstanding coach! Your personal commitment to your students and home study course fully prepared me, both academically and psychologically, to pass the July BAR Exam!

Judy Baker , Esq.
Santa Clara University School of Law

Thanks to you, I sailed through law school and the California Bar Exam. I have so much to thank you for. Not only were you my mentor, but also you were my inspiration. I would never have made it through the entire process without your help.

My name was on the pass list for July. The Performance exam workshop and exercises really helped me get through that tough hurdle. FFOL is simply the best!

Keith Brown , Esq.

Your home study Bar Review made the difference in passing the Arizona Bar examination. Working full time, handling the responsibilities of being a father, your product made the difference. Respectfully and sincerely!

William Condray , Esq.
California Southern Law School

Thank you for all your help through law school and preparation for the Bar Exam. It made the Bar a pleasurable experience. Give my best to everyone associated with Fleming’s.

Amy Cordova , Esq.
Cal Western Law School

Dear Fleming’s,
Thank you again, to everyone for all of your efforts in helping me pass the February 2010 CALIFORNIA BAR.

The short of it is, “Not only was I taught what you need to know to pass the Bar, but how you need to know it.”

For as little time as I had to study, your course rolled up everything I learned in law school and more, into tight, neat little packages, easy to apply to taking the Bar. The afternoon performance exams were viewed in a whole new light after listening to all of Sue Sneidmiller’s helpful hints – it actually made it easy to approach. EVERY law school should require their students to take her course, as they can’t even touch what she knows on what the examiners are looking for.

Sincerely,

Diane Cosko , DVM and JD
John Williams School of Law

I passed! I don’t think others realize how thorough and intensive you home study program is. The ability to replay parts that I didn’t understand was an enormous advantage over live or televised presentations.

Frank Denby , Esq.
Lincoln Law School of San Jose

I passed. Thank you Fleming’s for delivering to me the greatest result, so that now I can move on with my life!

Julia Donoho , Esq.
Empire College School of Law

Without your help I would have been lost during the Bar Exam. Your class gave me the confidence that I needed not to panic during the test, the knowledge to answer the questions correctly, and the practice necessary to know how to use my time properly. Being an attorney in California is a goal I have achieved thanks to your help.

Kirk Endres , Esq.
University of San Luis Obispo School of Law

I passed the bar on my first try, and I honestly believe that your bar review course is the best on the market. Your detailed and personalized reviews of so many of my essays and performance exams really enabled me to fine tune my writing for the exam. Thanks!

Kirsten Fish , Esq.
Santa Clara University School of Law

I could not have passed the February Bar exam without the intense preparation, supervision and test taking techniques provided by Jeff Fleming and FFOL. I decided to go with the FFOL Ultimate Bar Tutorial because I knew I needed the individual attention the program offered.

Jeffrey Frayer , Esq.
Western State University School of Law

It was all of you who believed in me and gave me the confidence and knowledge to pass one of the hardest exams in the country on my first attempt.

Rozanna Geil , Esq.
Southwestern Law School

Fleming’s exceeded my expectations! I strongly recommend FFOL…the best bar review on the market!

Chad Gillette , Esq.
Loyola Law School

Thank you! You may indeed take credit for my success, because you showed me how to achieve it. I shall recommend this course to others as it was recommended to me.

Ben Griffin , Esq.
Pepperdine University School of Law

The best decision I ever made was to place my preparation for the California Bar in the guiding hands of Jeff Fleming. I received personal attention and guidance on how to study. It was systematic and thorough. UBT is the best choice!

Correspondence Student Concord Law School of Kaplan University

Hi Professor Fleming,

It's with undescribable glee and joy that I have the pleasure and honor of telling you that I passed this past February 2010 NV Bar Exam. The pass rate was the worse one yet, at, 48% (likely not much better than California!). I never would've been able to do it without you, your course and your staff! You are INCREDIBLE!!! This was my third time taking NV after practising for over 20 years out of NY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

I heard you talk me thru the entire exam. You actually predictated quite a few of the NV essays. Your lectures are so right on point; your test taking techniques and insights, right on the money, and probably most of all, your strategy-technique (IRAC; practice essays (especially ones included in the lecture on-line) and outlining strategies, cliched it for me.

I did what you said; headnotes/subheadnotes, IRAC and wrote "TIME" at the end. I answered everything the way you suggested; especially Evidence with the discussion on Logical/legal relevance etc and repeated for each subpart by "supra' or "infra".

I've been telling anyone and everyone who's taking or repeat takers (especially) about you and your online course.

I wanted to thank you again and let you know the good news!!! You're the BOMB!!!

Respectfully and with utmost gratitude,

Teresa J. Holzer

FFOL is a team of dedicated people who sincerely want you to succeed. Based on excellent course materials, the required exercises and the constant, meaningful feedback, I was indeed successful.

Margaret Hughes , Esq.
Thomas Jefferson School Of Law

Dear Professor Fleming,

I hope that you are doing well! I've been telling students about your Bar Prep course and how I felt the July 2009 exam was easy because of your class. I was so relaxed and confident during the exam... it was like night and day compared to all of the worries I had before the exam. Every time I walked out of a testing session, I had a smile on my face. Unlike the rest of my classmates, I felt I didn't have to worry about my results so I was relaxed for the 4 months that I waited. To get an overachiever like me who is normally stressed out during exams to feel that comfortable is incredible. Thank you again.

Best,

Christina M. Ignatius , Esq.
Chapman School of Law

Fleming’s Fundamentals of Law was the essential element in my passing the Bar. Susan’s Performance Workshop prepared me for the Performance section of the bar by teaching me a flawless method in approaching each and every Performance essay with which I was confronted.

Shon Jeng , Esq.
Western State University College of Law

The Ultimate Bar Review was an absolutely amazing experience. I am so grateful to have had it.

Kerry E. Lewis , Esq.
Southern California Institute of Law, Ventura

I can’t thank you enough for your dedication to your students. Seeing my name on the pass list was a direct result of your devotion to us, your confidence in us and your intolerance of our self-pity. My family and I thank you (especially my family).

Nick Liddi , Esq.
Pacific Coast University School of Law

I highly endorse Fleming’s program and materials! We own a small, growing law firm in Northern California. Not only did both of our senior partners pass first time using Fleming’s Long Term Bar Prep course but one of our newly minted associate attorneys just received results this May and passed using the long term course first time through! I highly endorse his course, but ... You MUST DO ALL THE WORK AND FOLLOW FFOL’S RECOMMENDED COURSE OF PREPARATION.

Brian and Anne Matlock , Esquires
University of Pacific McGeorge School of Law

I chose the Fleming’s Ultimate Bar Tutorial and made the right choice. Your assistance, support, coaching and encouragement convinced me I would pass.

Kate McGuigan , Esq.
Pepperdine University School of Law

The FFOL bar program was the perfect program for me. I am forever grateful to Professor Fleming and the rest of his staff.

Teresa McNamara , Esq.
Western State University College of Law

Lauren Montana , Esq.
Chapman University School Of Law

Flemings Fundamentals of Law prepares you for the absolute worst. It exposes you to the toughest questions and issues that the bar can throw at you. It is through this exposure that you are able to walk into the exam knowing that there is nothing that the bar can test that you haven't seen before. I give Fleming's Fundamentals of Law credit for my first time success on the July 2009 California Bar Exam.

Ross Moynihan
Whittier Law School

Professor Fleming’s straight forward, no nonsense method was my key to unlocking the exam. Most importantly, the entire FFOL team was 100% committed to my success every step of the way. Fleming’s practical, hands on approach to the CA Bar Exam are second to none!

L. Mudgett III , Esq.
Chapman University School Of Law

I had used Fleming’s Fundamentals of Law throughout my law school career, and so then naturally continued with Fleming’s Ultimate Bar Review course. The Bar Review course was perfect for me, and allowed me the structure and flexibility to be successful.

Lynn Murphy , Esq.
University of West Los Angeles School of Law

I had such a positive experience in your bar prep program and know that it is because of your program that I was able to pass the bar my first time!!! Thank you so much!

Annie Murphy , Esq.
Whittier Law School

Professor Fleming’s interest, drive, and passion about teaching and success of his students were the number one factor why I made the choice. I had the opportunity to write over 50 essays and review over 19 performance exams and receive individual feedback on all of them. I would not have been able to do it without FFOL, Professor Fleming, and his staff. For all of this, I will be indebted to them forever.

Raihana Niazi , Esq.
Trinity Law School

I worked full time for the majority of my studying time so the home study course was perfect for me. It allowed me to tailor the program to my personal needs and not spend any more time than necessary on my strong subjects. The outlines were clear, concise and paired nicely with the online lectures. Jeff and the other lecturers are all experts and explained the material in a straightforward and intelligible manner. I would certainly recommend this program.

Reed Olmstead
Santa Barbara College of Law

Flemings home study online program enabled me to pass the February 2010 CA Bar Exam on my first attempt! The road through bar review was made enjoyable due to the expert lectures and knowledge of the professors at Flemings.

Thank you Flemings for your guidance and support, I couldn't have done it without you.

Lindsey Parlin
University of Denver Law School

I would be nowhere without the Ultimate Bar Tutorial at Flemings! Jeff’s lectures and technique gave me the strength, will power, and stamina to conquer the California Bar Examination. Coming from a non-ABA school, I knew I needed a lot more help than the mainstream bar review programs. I tell this to every bar candidate I know. If Jeff were a religion…I would have joined already!

Mona Patel , Esq.
University of West Los Angeles School of Law

I wanted to thank you all for your support and guidance this past year. It was a long journey but you always encouraged me to succeed. Thank you so much for believing in me!

Grant S. Pederson , Esq.
Ventura College of Law

Your Bar Review course provided me with all of the necessary tools to give me the confidence to take the test and the skills to pass! I cannot tell you enough how grateful I am for the personal time and energy you put into your Bar Review Course!

Kevin Rogan , Esq.
University of La Verne College of Law

UBT teaches you the language to use, and how to write the bar exam. The breakdowns made a big difference. Taking the UBT you will be prepared to pass the exam!

Kristi Rothschild , Esq.
Southern California Institute of Law, Santa Barbara

I am happy to inform you that I passed the CA bar on first attempt. Audio lectures and notes were very useful. The two things I found most useful were (1) regiment to write and get comments on a number of essays (many more than other bar prep classes) and (2) additional samples of past student bar essays with grades - to further calibrate my efforts. Thanks again!

Vinay Sathe , Esq.
University of San Diego School Of Law

I cannot stop thanking your team! I enjoyed the class, your energy and positiveness (but I am glad I do not have to do it again) and I certainly would not have done better with any other bar preparation. Best regards and many thanks (MERCI)!

Claire Schmidt , Esq.
Foreign Law School

I passed the February Bar Exam. Thank you! Your performance exam preparation was outstanding. I trusted your years of experience in bar prep rather than my own ideas. Your program is outstanding. I know I could not have passed without it.

Mary Schofield , Esq.

My experience with Fleming’s bar review course was fantastic. I highly recommend his course and I felt he really prepared me for the CA Bar exam. If you want to pass the bar exam, I highly suggest you take Fleming’s Fundamentals of Law.

Jodie Steinberg , Esq.
New York Attorney

There are no live courses where I live. I could either spend hours driving to a classroom to watch video presentations from another bar-review provider, or take a home course. The Fleming's Online Course offered the best value of the home courses I investigated. Jeff Fleming and his team have decades of experience with bar preparation. The materials were comprehensive, and the support team quickly responded to my e-mailed questions. I signed up for Fleming's with two friends, and we encouraged each other by phone and e-mail throughout the months of study. All three of us passed the bar exam the first time.

James Stoicheff
Santa Barbara College of Law

Thank you sooo much for all of your help in passing the bar! There are really no words for how grateful I am to the entire Fleming’s staff. I appreciate everything you have done to help me along the way!

Gillian Studwell , Esq.
Loyola Law School

I was educated in a continental legal system overseas and I did not go to US law school. Considering my background, it was not easy to study and pass the bar exam. You courses were fitting for my situation. The lectures and materials are superb. Mr. Fleming’s enthusiasm and energy was contagious. He exhibited a real concern for his students and I benefited from it.

Temesgen Teka , Esq.
Foreign Law School

Your exceptional guidance, concise materials, enthusiastic teaching style, memory retention devices, issue approaches, and never ending encouragement, were the keys to my success.

Ryan Thelen , Esq.
Ventura College of Law

I came to your class wondering if I was ever going to pass. But you put that uncertainty to rest right away by telling us that we all had the ability to get the job done. You offer an amazing bar review. Thank you for being such a tremendous teacher and motivator.

Anna Thomas , Esq.
University of Pacific McGeorge School of Law

I would not have passed the Bar without your classes and support! Thank you so much for giving me the feeling of success and being proud of myself again!

Kathryn Tran , Esq.
Foreign Law School

I am convinced that your methodology of writing essays under timed conditions coupled with a highly structured and focused curriculum were imperative to my success in passing the exam on my first attempt. Once again, thank you!!!

Michael L. Wasnok , Esq.

The FFOL intensive MBE approach helped me boost my MBE score from the 50% range to a score high enough to automatically qualify for the D.C. Bar without examination. Thank you!

Jon Weinman , Esq.
Southwestern Law School

I was a distance learning student at William Howard Taft University. Thanks for your efforts in helping me be successful in both my law school course work and my FIRST taking of the Bar.

Craig Wetterer , Esq.
Correspondence Student Taft Law School

I truly believe that by doing everything that I was required of me in the Fleming’s Bar Prep program was the reason for me passing the bar exam.

Stacey Wolcott , Esq.
California Southern Law School

FFOL was the key to helping me pass on my first attempt. Fleming’s application of the law to bar fact patterns is superb. The Performance method carried me through the Performance tests – I knew exactly what to do, and when to do it!

Dear Susan,

I was meaning to contact you to inform you of the wonderful news. I want to thank you so much because it was truly your performance method that helped get me through the February 2010 Bar Exam.

I know that it was very difficult, and towards the end I thought the MBE's did me in, however, I know for sure that my confidence during the last two portions of the CA exam-testing day were attributable entirely to your method.

I know my friends who did take additional courses to learn about the Performance Test through other tutors unfortunately did not pass. I will be glad to recommend your services to anyone. You were amazing. Thank you.

Alana S. Charny , Esq.
New York School of Law

I passed the bar! Your Performance materials were invaluable and along with the checklists and approached were the essential tools in allowing me to pass!

Catherine Corrado , Esq.
Whittier Law School

Susan’s approach to the Performance Exam was absolutely key to my passing the PT’s. Her four-phase approach was brilliant.

Frank Denby , Esq.
Lincoln Law School of San Jose

Susan’s Performance system is truly superior. I did all the Performance setups as instructed. On the Bar Exam I used the tools she gave me to solve the puzzles on the PT’s. Your materials and your understanding of what is required to pass were much appreciated.

Julia Donoho , Esq.
Empire College School of Law

The FFOL intensive Performance approach and constant practice helped me pull it all together, both with the timing and more importantly the set up. Thank you!

Greg Field , Esq.
Southwestern Law School

I passed the bar on my first try. Your detailed and personalized reviews of so many of my performance exams really enabled me to fine tune my writing for the exam. Thanks!

Kirsten Fish , Esq.
Santa Clara University School of Law

Susan and Patty showed me how read and understand a performance file. Then they proceeded to show me how to write it. Why would anybody not want to maximize the earnable points on these two tests? I believed the Performance exams pushed my score over the pass line.

John Fletcher , Esq.
Whittier Law School

Susan’s Performance Workshop prepared me for the Performance section of the bar by teaching me a flawless method in approaching each and every Performance essay with which I was confronted.

Shon Jeng , Esq.
Western State University College of Law

I did not learn legal writing in school. Thus, I turned to FFOL for help. Professor Andel took time to tutor me and was always there to answer all my questions. For the first time in my legal career, I actually knew how to write like a lawyer. The method really worked for me! By the time I was done with the course, I was getting the highest grade on the Performance Exams!

Margarette Mow , Esq.
University of La Verne College of Law

I want to say thank you for helping me pass the February Bar Exam. I feel I did very well on the PT’s and I thought Susan’s method was a major fact or in my success.

George Panagiotou , Esq.
Southwestern Law School

I cannot stop thanking your team! I enjoyed the class, your energy and positiveness. Susan’s Performance Workshop was exceptional. I certainly would not have done better with any other bar preparation. Best regards and many thanks (MERCI)!

Claire Schmidt , Esq.

Your performance exam preparation was outstanding. I followed Susan’s method exactly. I am sure that my performance exams sealed my passing grade on the Bar. I actually enjoyed them.

Mary Schofield , Esq.
Northwestern California University School of Law

Susan’s approach to the Performance Exam is fabulous. The foundation she laid with her approach allowed me to truly understand the Performance exams.

Nicole Stults , Esq.

Baby Bar Success Stories

I am very pleased to be writing this letter to you. I took the June Baby Bar Exam and received a grade of a B.

Just so you know how extraordinary this was for me, you should realize that I have never physically attended a law school. I am taking my law school study by correspondence. I decided that I would take the baby bar review also by correspondence and through your CDs.

I followed your suggestions religiously. I did the boot camp specifically as you detailed. I used your approaches, and they worked. Your boot camp was brutal, but it definitely gave me confidence when I knew it was time to perform.

I still can't believe I got a 90 on a contract essay question!

Your ability to simplify the law into a working set of approaches sets you apart from other professors I have listened to on tapes.

I couldn't have done it without your help. Thanks again.

Marlene Baiza

To help us beat the 10% pass rated California Baby Bar Exam, we aimlessly tried everything available on the law distributor's market. What a huge relief it was to attend our first course (Writing Course) of Fleming's Fundamentals of Law. Your courses were what we were desperately searching for ... direction.

Your course went beyond the law and taught us what law school did not: skills to attack the Baby Bar Exam. Your course simplified the subjects to where it was manageable and possible to retain through checklists and mnemonics. The CD review of the multiple choice techniques was invaluable. Your course revealed all the mystery of the Baby Bar in a dynamic, straightforward and funny way.

FFOL is guaranteed for success. We are living proof. We both beat the odds and passed the June Baby Bar Exam the first time taking it! Each time we are congratulated for our accomplishment, we thank you for working so hard on a course that works.

Thank you and your staff a million times over.

Karen & Kathleen Barreras

Today, two days before Christmas I received the results of the FYLSX.I am glad to inform you that I passed. Thank you for your Christmas present.

The difficulty of a first year correspondence student is multi fold; No one to study with, no lectures, no professors, basically you are handed a set of books to read and prepare to take the Baby Bar. (Sink or swim)

Thank God I was introduced to your course; without it I would have sunk. Fleming's First Year Review course must be mandatory for all first year students.

Sign me up for the "Fleming's Bar Review". Thank you again, see you in a couple years.

Vasken Bedirian

I used your essay writing handbook as I studied for the Baby Bar. I can honestly say that your model answers are the clearest of any commercially available essay writing book that I have seen. I probably wouldn't have passed without it. I also used your MBE book which was very helpful.

Most of my classmates at the Oak Brook College of Law used your materials as well. Out of those of us taking it for the first time, 17 out of 27 of us passed. Five of my classmates received A's. Thank you for giving us important help when we needed it the most.

Mark Bigger

Fleming’s review program was instrumental in getting me to succeed on the California Bar. What I needed after failing the Bar was to re-focus and master the material. Thanks again FFOL!

Sheri Chlebowski , Esq.
JFK University School of Law

This letter is to inform you that I passed the October Baby Bar and I want to thank you for your wonderful program.

I followed your boot-camp program. I did the exam under simulated conditions for 2 weekends, issue spotted and wrote practice exams for each and every one of the essays provided in your book. Do you know what happened? I walked into the exam and took it as if it was nothing I hadn't done before.

The essays were just flowing as I had written so many of them. Therefore, they were just 4 more essays that I had to write. The multistates were very similar and some almost identical to the ones I had done in practice.

Your program put me through what was basically military style hell, but I want to thank you for helping me and for creating such a program for students such as myself who due to special circumstances were dismissed from school. I want to let you know that I also wrote the 6 essays which were critiqued by your staff. That was a great help!

Thank you again and God bless you.

N. D.

I want to thank you for your superb course, without which I would never have been able to pass the June Baby Bar. As a correspondence student, I had little writing experience and no one to help me to meaningfully organize the volume of material. As you suggested, I diligently worked out all of your sample essay questions (reviewing them the three days before the exam) and intensively studied the superb MBE book you provided. Much to my surprise, not only did I receive 75 and 80 in my Contracts essays (85's in Torts and Criminal Law) but I earned an A 671) for the overall examination!

I would heartily recommend your course for anyone who wants to maximize chances to pass the Baby Bar examination and look forward to taking your Bar Review course three years from now.
Yours sincerely,

Ronald L. Eisenberg , M.D.
Chairman of Radiology

Dear Jeff Fleming and staff:

I just wanted to take a quick moment to thank you for your help in preparing me for the October 2009 California baby bar exam. I was very concerned with how I would do, as it was my first time taking it. I tried to prepare as much as possible. Your program is what I believe gave me not only the edge, but a solid foundation, which allowed me not only to pass the test but come very close to an A.

I followed your instruction, listened to your CDs, did over 3000 MBEs (scored an 89 raw), and was able to stay on task with your boot Camp (Scored an 80 on essay #4).

I will be not only recommending your program, as I have already done, but will be a client for the future bar exam.

Once again thank you.

All the Best,

David N. Ferri
Northwestern California University School of Law

MY ANSWER IS PUBLISHED ON CALBAR SITE!!!!! I listened to the tapes many many times before taking the October BB. 93%MBE Essays: 85, 70, 85, 70!!!! HOOOORAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! (answer A question 1)

THANK YOU, PROF FLEMING!!!!

Sharon Hambrick

I am finishing up 2L online with Northwestern California University School of Law. I just wanted to say "Thank You" to Professor Fleming and his staff for his wonderful Baby Bar Preparation class. I took the home version...but listening to the audio + reading the materials ...I felt as if Professor Fleming was talking to each and every one of us....both those students in the classroom ...and those students listening on CD at home. I developed confidence because I took Professor Fleming's class...and THAT was the key, in my opinion, to my beating the Baby Bar. Thank You

Andy Kluka
Northwestern California University School of Law

Through friends, I was introduced to your baby bar review course. The price seemed, at first, a little steep but, without a passing score my law career would be held in limbo.

Even though the course was recorded on DVD, your enthusiasm and anecdotes kept the eight hour day from being excessive or boring. The lecture outlines provided the rules and format for well-reasoned and cogent answers to legal questions. The "Boot Camp" regime was manageable and the practice exams were excellent because of an audio response that explained what I was doing wrong, and how to better explain the rule to fact relationship.

In conclusion, I passed first try! Your course was a major factor coupled with hard work that made for favorable results. Thank you for helping my dreams come true.

Wolfgang Kovach

Last August I purchased your Baby Bar Course to help me prepare for the October Baby Bar. My grades had been very poor throughout my first year of law school and I had little hope that I would pass. After listening to your lecture CDs the material, especially Contracts, became so clear to me. I aggressively put myself through "boot camp". By October 6, I had written 50 essays and taken nearly 1200 MBE. When the results were announced in December I learned that I had passed and with a grade of "A"! Thank you for your course. It truly helped me achieve my goal.

Jessica Mondragon

Thank you for the boost in confidence and the clarity in understanding the material. I believe that your study aids gave me. My grandfather used to say: "All I want is an unfair advantage." When some of my classmates gasped in horror at what they perceived as an extravagance in my purchasing so many of your study aids, I had no problem staring them down and explaining how much money I would save in the long run if I passed the first time by not having to return to San Francisco and take the exam again. I'm happy that the two classmates who heard this logic bought their own CDs and outlines and passed as well!

Thanks again. Sincerely,
A. Mueller

I am writing to thank you for the excellent way in which you prepared me for the June Baby Bar.

Because of participating in your Baby Bar Review, I was able to approach the exam with confidence.

I was especially pleased that I did not receive a single non-passing grade on the examination. My study partners and I followed your Boot Camp religiously and I was able to score 87% on the Multiple Choice Examination. I was also able to receive scores of 80%, 85%, 70% and 75% on the essays.

Thanks again for your work. I am looking forward to participating in your classes and using your materials throughout Law School.

Exam Solution Success Stories

I want to thank you for your superb course, without which I would never have been able to pass the June Baby Bar. As a correspondence student, I had little writing experience and no one to help me to meaningfully organize the volume of material. As you suggested, I diligently worked out all of your sample essay questions (reviewing them the three days before the exam) and intensively studied the superb MBE book you provided. Much to my surprise, not only did I receive 75 and 80 in my Contracts essays (85's in Torts and Criminal Law) but I earned an A 1671) for the overall examination!

I attended your final reviews for all my first year courses. Working full time while taking 10 units does not allow me the luxury of being able to read hornbooks, etc. Grades were posted last week and I did very well! In fact, my essay answers are being used as the model answer. I can't thank you enough for providing the essential guidelines and structure to adequately prepare for finals.
Thanks!

John Birkle

Last semester while in a state of "Pre-Finals" panic, I picked up one of your brochures and decided to attend. What a difference they made! Your common-sense approach to the law and the exam process helped me pull myself out of an intellectual mire and clear my head for exams. The results speak for themselves. Thanks to your excellent review and outlines, I got the first 4.0 in my academic history. My investment in your programs was well worth it.

Andrew Greenberg

I want to thank you for your excellent material. I would never have gotten through my first year without your excellent outlines. Unfortunately, I attempted law school once before and fell to the bottom of the curve. I used all the other commercial outlines which were worthless.

I re-applied to law school, was accepted, and this time I used your cassettes with outlines and most importantly, I enrolled in the Exam Two Day Writing Workshop and BINGO! I passed. I am eternally grateful to you for your excellent material and your enthusiasm in teaching.

I look forward to receiving the Constitutional Law outline soon. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I recently received a letter from San Francisco Law School congratulating me for making the Dean's List. I just completed my second year of law school and thanks to your courses I raised my grade 6.1 points, from 74.4 to 80.5.

The writing workshop is the first audio course I sent away for and took. Based on how beneficial that program was for me during Civil Procedure, I purchased your audiocassettes with corresponding outlines.

Thanks again for the help. I will be working with the Fleming's tapes again in the Fall and trying to repeat my success.

I'm writing to express my strong satisfaction with the Fleming's Law School Exam Writing and Exam Solutions workshops I attended in the fall of my first year of law school (2008). I am currently ranked first in my class and couldn't have done so without your help!
Sincerely,

Hi Professor Fleming,
I just found out I'm ranked #1 in my class! This makes 2 years back to back! Thanks to Fleming's Fundamentals of Law!

Permit me to express my deep appreciation for the fine outlines and tapes you provide. In my first six months of law school I used your materials for exam review - and received the highest grade in my Torts I, Contracts I, and Criminal Procedure classes, ending the spring with a 3.68 GPA and a distinguished Honor Roll notation.

Keep up the fine work and thanks for the support!

I want you to know how valuable I find your final review tapes to my law school studies. Working full time and going to law school at night does not afford me the luxury of confusion and your tapes make the various law courses so much more understandable. Your tapes cut right to the important data. I have used your tapes through my first year and half of law school and will continue to use them. I recently mailed a copy of your cassette list to a friend in San Francisco who is having trouble. I'm sure once she orders your tapes she will be fine.

Thank you again Professor Fleming. Your tapes are wonderful!

Legal Writing Workshop Success Stories

Grades are out! I received a letter from the Dean congratulating me for being recognized on the Dean’s List with a 4.07 GPA and a class ranking of number 3 in a 1st year class of 2 13. I followed everything you said in the Writing Workshop and I received A’s in all of my classes. My professors want to use my Torts & Contracts final exams as sample answers. Your course with its written materials paid off!

Everyone who gets into law school knows how to write, but law school exams require a specific type of organized presentation, different from anything else. The Writing Workshop taught me to organize and then write like a lawyer. Now I give the professors exactly what they want and my grades prove that.

I took the Writing Workshop after I received disappointing 1st semester grades despite knowing the law better than most. With Professor Fleming’s help, I was soon able to create answers full of good factual analysis and legal reasoning. Not only did my grades improve, but I found I needed less time studying for exams. I only wish I had taken the Fleming’s Writing Workshop sooner.

Great News! My first year grades just came out. I’m in the top 7% of my class. I made the Dean’s list and Law Review. All the fantastic instruction I got in the Writing Workshop paid off. I am thrilled.

I had no idea when I signed up to take your course that I would be lucky enough to find the methodology for which I was searching. Your use of numerous essay exams to demonstrate your system of outlining and fact collection for test taking is dynamic. I feel confident now that I can excel in the art of test taking in law school.

After taking the workshop and practicing the techniques you taught us, I was able to write concise answers in my blue book that got me the grades I desired. After all, what’s in the blue book is what really counts.

Thank you for your workshop. If it was not for you and your program, I would never have graduated from law school. Your step-by-step approach to tackling the essays, your encouragement, and the fact you gave us feedback on our essays (for the one and only time in my entire law school experience) were priceless. Your workshop straightened out some seriously flawed ideas I had about how to argue and write essays.

Is there any other way to write a law school exam? It is with sincere appreciation and gratitude that I tell you I do not think I could have done so well in my first year without Fleming’s. I attended the Writing Workshop primarily because I was scared to death of writing a law school exam. It was at the Writing Workshop that I wrote my first exam enabling me to overcome my apprehension. What a priceless luxury to have a trained attorney read my exam and return it to me with a tape recording of valuable comments and suggestions. I continued to write practice exams throughout the year using your analysis approach. It has really paid off - my first year was more successful than I ever expected.
