I’ve never heard of a program like that, but don’t despair about failing the bar. It happens to many lawyers who go on to have great careers. Now you know what to expect and that’ll be a good deal of help going in a second time. I did the Themis bar prep course. It was all online, but I thought was helpful. I took the bar in a UBE state, to give a little context.

like

I failed three times with Barbri and passed on my fourth attempt with THEMIS.

I passed on the third try with JD Advising for essays/MBE/etc. and BarMax for MBE prep. I took the UBE and was able to port my score into multiple jurisdictions. Just shake it off and do research on reddit on how people who passed structured their study time. You will pass.

like

Themis + Adaptibar. Barbri is WAY too detailed IMO. Themis tells you what you need to know and nothings more. Plus their questions along with the Adaptibar questions were closest to the actual bar questions.

like

I used Bar Max for both CA and TX. Don’t get discouraged. Many people don’t pass on the first try, that doesn’t define you as a lawyer or define the kind of career you’ll have.

I’m not sure I’d be taking advice from people who failed the bar 2-3 times… 70-80% of people in most states pass on their first try. I’m not saying give up, just trying to balance out the pollyannas here with some reality. Not everyone that wants to be a lawyer will be, and not everyone that is one should be.

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job. Third: As the main job always has the priority, the Second and third jobs must preferably be contract gigs with not too many meetings everyday. Remember: another day, another dollar.
