ABOUT
Jessica Hammond
Hey there!
I'm Jess - lawyer, ADHD brain, and founder of SimpliLaw.
Since launching SimpliLaw in 2024, I've focused on one thing: making the Ontario bar
exams feel less impossible.
Being a visual learner and living with ADHD has taught me that traditional study methods
don't work for everyone. Sometimes you need a different approach, and that's exactly
why I started this company.
Between coaching calls with amazing students and creating resources that actually
make sense, I've helped numerous candidates transform their bar prep journey.
The best part? Getting those "I PASSED!" messages from students who found
their confidence and succeeded their way.
Through SimpliLaw's bar prep tools and coaching, we're building something
real here:
Clear, practical guidance;
Strategies that actually work; and
Support when you need it.
Because at the end of the day, bar prep doesn't have to be
overwhelming.
And I'm here to help you find your way through it.
Jess
