Bar Exam and Chill

Conquer the Bar Exam without the burnout.

If you’re tired of overly dry lectures, and want the key rules and elements drilled down on real past exams, welcome to Bar Exam & Chill. Hosted by a licensed attorney who’s navigated and passed both the California and UBE bar exams, this podcast is designed to help you master the "heavy lifting" of the exam in a way that actually sticks. After practicing for years, I recently moved from California to a UBE jurisdiction and to my horror I was forced to take the bar exam again. I did not want to pay for the overly expensive bar exam prep courses, so I self studied using AI and the available podcast resources. However, no podcast was quite what I was looking for and the experience was somewhat miserable. When I took the California bar exam I relied on Barbri and passed the first time. But for the UBE bar exam I was able to achieve a score that is passing in every single UBE jurisdiction state without a prep course. I want to bring this ability to you, without the feel of dry law school outlines that make you want to... not be a lawyer.

In these episodes, I dive deep into actual past essay hypos (California as well as UBE past exams - the test and jurisdiction is noted in each title for your convenience). I don't just read the hypo; we are going to attack it together and break down high yield legal concepts in plain English. We’ll walk through the facts, identify the trap-doors, and drill the critical rule elements you must memorize so they become second nature by exam day. Repetition of the rule elements and some relaxed vibes are coming your way. I will also provide some general study strategies and tips, including AI prompt ideas, that allowed me to pass the bar exam without expensive prep materials. This is the podcast that I was searching for but it didn't quite exist yet.

What you can expect:

• Detailed Essay Walkthroughs: Step-by-step analysis of real exam questions including essay structure and fact highlighting with application.

• Rule Element Drilling: Precision-focused reviews of core MBE and Essay topics. This is the key for passing on exam day, we will be drilling down on the key rule elements you need to have down cold so you can reproduce them come bar exam time. Repetition of the exact elements is clutch here.

• Strategic Insights: Pointers on how to approach the graders and maximize your points.

I know the feeling of being in your shoes, and I don't envy where you are right now. My goal is to help those suffering the existential dread of confronting the Bar Exam. I'll be keeping it as fun as is reasonably possible given the reality of the subject matter at hand. Whether you’re commuting, at the gym, or just need a break from the library, grab a coffee (or your favorite "chill" beverage) and let's get you licensed.
