FIRST-TIME TAKERS
Bar Study Skills Crash Course
This five-week course is designed to equip students with the essential learning skills and strategies needed to prepare effectively for and pass the bar exam. By strengthening these foundations before the intensive preparation period begins, students enter bar prep with greater confidence, clarity, and readiness for success. The course also bridges the gap between law school—where students focus on theory, analysis, and case method—and the bar exam, which requires rapid recall of black-letter law and formulaic application under timed conditions. In doing so, it provides the tools students need to transition smoothly into the demands of bar study.

Throughout the course, students will learn:
(1) How to develop a big-picture framework for each bar-tested subject.
(2) How to take effective notes during lectures to fill in and refine their frameworks.
(3) How to use practice questions to identify voids and gaps in their knowledge and understanding.
(4) How to fill in those gaps strategically to strengthen both comprehension and application.

The course consists of 90-minute classes held twice a week in small sections of 7 to 10 students, promoting interaction and a supportive learning environment. Between classes, students will complete homework assignments that are graded by the instructor. Students should plan to commit three hours of class time each week, along with 10 to 15 hours of studying and homework. This consistent effort leads to meaningful progress and measurable growth in the skills that matter most for bar exam success. Once students demonstrate mastery of the learning cycle, they will be placed on an early start learning plan, giving them a valuable head start on bar exam preparation.

For February bar takers, the course runs from mid-October to late November; for July bar takers, from mid-March to late April. To ensure students fully benefit from the program, all participants are required to sign a commitment agreement, affirming their dedication to attending all classes and completing all assignments.
