Dear Bar Candidates:

I offer a personalized online bar exam tutorial for the bar exams of
the following jurisdictions:
California Bar Exam (CA) (General & Attorney's Exam)
District of Columbia Bar Exam (DC)
Florida Bar Exam (FL)
(as well as the Southern District of FL Exam)
Georgia Bar Exam (GA) (General & Attorney's Exam)
Maryland Bar Exam (MD)(General & Attorney's Exam)
New Jersey Bar Exam (NJ)
New York Bar Exam (NY)

Students from other jurisdictions are welcome to contact me
regarding their needs as well.

The course consists of nearly three (3) months of instruction,
including study outlines, actual bar exam questions and feedback
and critique of student answers, as well as tips for maximizing
your exam performance.

Format: The class is online, maximizing your study time,
eliminating wasted travel time and creating a flexible class format
that allows one to work, see their family and have a life. This
format also provides highly personalized interaction between the
student and me.

Summary: I do the following for nearly three months:

1. Comprehensive Study Materials:  I provide black-letter law
study lessons and outlines for each subject tested on each
particular bar exam, which are both concise and through.
Typically, at least one subject per week is covered.

The outlines are personally researched, written and updated by me
for each bar exam. They are based upon my intensive analysis of
bar exam questions from at least 1990 to present for California,
DC, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, New York and New Jersey, as
to all bar exam subjects. Consequently, the outlines contain all of
the law that you need to know for your respective bar exam. The
outlines are color-coded and emailed in M/S Word format to the
student's designated email account.

2. Practice Bar Exam Questions: After the student reviews the
lesson and outline for a particular subject, I then email  at least 3-4
actual old bar exam questions for that particular subject and
jurisdiction, to which the student then writes answers and returns
to me via email. I teach an efficient and effective method of
answering exam questions, which is applicable in practice as well.

By the end of the class, you will have written at least 33-44
practice essays before the exam. Practice question are carefully
selected to reflect the most tested areas and sub-topics on the bar
exam.

3. Rapid Feedback on Student Answers: Within 24 hours of
receiving a student's practice answers,  I provide detailed feedback
and critiques via email regarding the quality of the practice
answer, including factors such as:  
a.) issue identification;
b.) accuracy of the statements of law;
c.) complete legal analysis;
d.) definite conclusion;
e.) overall responsiveness to the question;
f.) organizational issues, format and even grammar and spelling;
g.) recommendations for improvement; and
h.) Plus, as needed, I assign additional essays for 'problem'
subjects.

In this way, we diagnose and eliminate any problem areas on bar
exam knowledge and skills throughout the class.

4. Active Learning:
The emphasis in this class is constant perfect practice. You will
learn the law and how to apply it to the facts. You will learn from
your mistakes and eliminate them.  You will also learn to focus
upon the most important areas tested on the bar, instead of trying
to memorize the entire legal code.

After over 3 years of law school, worth thousands of dollars and
considering a legal career worth thousands more, the bar exam is
too important a goal to fulfill just by buying second-hand, dated
materials online. Used books cannot provide feedback on the
mistakes that one may be making in their legal writing. I can and
will help students to maximize performance and pass the bar.

This active learning approach is more effective than mere
memorization because you are always practicing bar exam skills,
which you will rely upon on exam day.  

5. Maryland Attorney's Exam:

Unlike other states, Maryland offers a unique three-hour open
book examination for attorneys alone. The class for this exam
runs during the same time as the regular class. The attorney's
exams for California and Georgia use the same written portion of
the general bar exam for those states, only omitting the MBE.

a.)Materials
For the Maryland Attorneys' Class, I supply a detailed frequency
chart, showing the most tested topics and sub-topics on the
Maryland attorney's exam from at least 1998 until 2006.  When I
send the frequency chart, you can use it to tabulate your books
regarding the most tested areas (example: summary judgment in a
circuit court matter, transfer of a case from district court on a jury
demand, etc)  This tabulation will make it faster and easier for you
to reference the book during the practices and during the actual
bar exam.

The materials do not include the three volumes of the Maryland
Annotated Code/Maryland Rules/Courts and Judicial Proceedings
Article and Criminal Law article, which you must use during this
open-book exam.  Those books may be obtained through
Mitchie/Lexis or West Publishing.  I prefer the Mitchie version
since it is better annotated, but that is your choice. Aside from the
Mitchie/West books, you will not need any materials for the
attorney's class.  

b.) Instruction
Like the regular class, I supply practice bar exam questions for the
attorney's class on a weekly basis, in the form of entire past
exams, typically one per week. The attorney candidate then
answers the questions and submits the practice answers to me for
detailed diagnostic feedback on a weekly basis, as well as a final
practice exam, which is done under timed conditions. In this
manner, an attorney candidate will gain actual experience using the
books on real exam questions, which will condition you for the
actual exam.

c.) Specific Objectives of Attorney's Class
For tutoring attorneys, this is mainly a matter of refreshing bar
exam taking skills that they probably have not used for years and
getting them accustomed to the shorter, open book and more
detail-oriented format of the Maryland Attorney's exam.

6. Enrollment Information

Deadline:
For the February bar exam, this class starts the Sunday after
Thanksgiving

their respective jurisdictions after these times are still welcome to

7. Requirements:
You need a reliable email account and computer access, capable
of sending and receiving email attachments, as well as a strong
commitment to learning and passing the bar exam.

Price: Please contact me for prices for the bar exam that you are
taking. Currently, I accept payment by money order and PayPal
(See "Contacts" Page).

My aim is to provide instruction, with a quality and price
unmatched by any other class. Unlike other private tutors, I
charge a reasonable flat fee for nearly three months of tutoring,
rather than a high hourly rate.  In this way, you always know how
much you are paying and exactly what you are getting.

I will meet and beat the price of any other bar exam class of
similar duration, content and quality.

I am a serious teacher who teaches serious students. If you are
