    It Is Never Too Early to Start Studying for the Bar Exam

    Fleming's Edge Extended Bar Review

    There are actually three steps to becoming a lawyer:

    1. Go to law school and build a strong foundation;
    2. Study for the bar approximately 500+ hours; and
    3. Take and pass the bar exam.

    Students want to go from step 1 to step 3. But that is not a recipe for success. Students – or graduates – MUST engage in step 2 if they want to be successful on the bar exam.

    But where are you going to find 500+ hours? Usually, you have about 8-10 weeks after graduation and before the bar exam. That means you would need to be able to spend 50-60 hours a week for that entire time to adequately prepare to take the bar. Do you have a job? A family? The time? Is that at all realistic for a working adult? If you are reading this and thinking that you simply cannot devote that kind of time, Fleming’s has the answer for you: the Long Term Bar Preparation Program that allows you to start much earlier and spread out that substantial workload over approximately six months.

    Take Care of YOU While Preparing for the California Bar Exam

    Preparing for the California Bar Exam is a grind. Taking the California Bar Exam is grueling. And passing the California Bar Exam is cause for celebration – as well as a huge sigh of relief! The entire process was not designed to enhance your mental health. Many people prepare for, take, and pass the bar in spite of the toll it takes on their physical and mental wellbeing. But, to maximize your chances of success on the bar exam, you need to factor taking care of yourself into the equation.

  • Professional Responsibility: Broadly Tested on the California Bar Exam

    Professional Responsibility: Broadly Tested on the California Bar Exam

    Professional Responsibility is tested heavily on the California Bar Exam. You might find PR the subject matter of its own essay question. You might find it as a crossover question with another doctrinal subject. You might find it a part of or the whole topic on a performance exam. And, you might find it in multiple places in the same bar exam!

    So, be on the lookout! Just because you passed the MPRE does not mean that you have seen the last of PR issues.

    Jill's Law School Success Story

    I attribute my success to Fleming’s. I practiced writing exams, even before I knew the rules (I just read the Fleming’s model answer first, wrote down the rules, and practiced straight application and analysis). I watched Jeff’s lectures on the e-Learning website and listened to them over and over, even through the night.

    Surviving Your First Year of Law School

    Put simply, you survive your first year through the law school process, which requires two separate and distinct steps. Step 1 - You have to learn the law. Step 2 - You have to learn how to apply the law to law school exams in a time-driven testing environment. One without the other will not achieve your law school objectives.

    How The Bar Exam Tests Your Fundamental Lawyering Skills

    For those who did not pass, it does not appear their results reflect a lack of legal knowledge. The vast majority of bar candidates who sit for the exam have an adequate command of the law. Rather, the test results for those who did not pass reflect a general lack of test-taking skills on the MBE and written portions of the exam.
