For part 3, I used Gleim only and passed on the first try. The online lectures are great and the book and MCQs are well written. For part 2, I am using Gleim + PassKey. Depending on your background and your learning style will determine what might be a good fit. For me, I am reinventing myself in accounting with a tax focus. So for part 2, I found that PassKeys book does a better job at teaching the concepts. The webinars are great as well. For part 1, I used what I learned as a tax preparer with HR block and streamlined my studies with the book from PassKey and passed on the first try. Hope this helps!

Recently interviewed with another company as a Vendor Mgmt partner. Individual contributor, high visible position with potential. Thoughts?

I'm entering my final year of law school but am going part time since I work full time as a paralegal. I have been a paralegal for more 10+ years and I want to open my own firm after I pass the bar.

I've worked at a lot of different size firms including a startup with a few attorneys and I was able to help with a lot of the ground work with getting the practice management system in place and still do some of that now at my current firm. Has anyone done this right out of law school? Any advice?
