FROM THE TRENCHES

So proud of you all! I know bar prep can be a
nerve-wracking experience and you may not
know where to start; but exploring helpful
resources like this one is a great place to start.
Wishing you all the best :)!
You’re so close to the finish line!! It’s okay if
there are days when you feel like giving up or
you’re doubting your ability to pass the exams
- we’ve all been there. The key to get through
these moments is by reminding yourself that
you didn’t come this far just to come this far.
Keep going at it!
Congrats on getting ready for the bar exams! I
remember going through the study materials
wondering how in the world I’d get through
them, but I found that having a study schedule
in place helped me get through them
efficiently. The process might feel daunting but
you’ve got this :)!
