Seminars are considered the base program and all bar review students should take them, which are taught by the LawTutors founder Tania Shah , or Vice President Instructor Melissa Gill , and covers the seven core subjects on every bar exam as well as Federal Jurisdiction (MA and NY specific) and MA Practice (MA specific). This will serve as your “Base” for bar review study and will guide your through a strict and intense review. The Base Program consists of 13 seminars: 6 MBE and 7 Essay seminars, which includes Federal Jurisdiction and MA Practice.

Our students also have four optional courses available to them, including an intensive Massachusetts specific Essay Seminar, a New York specific seminar and a Multistate Performance Test workshop. LawTutors students can also take advantage of a reduced price enrollment in the Emanuel Bar Review, an intensive MBE program.

Each seminar is small group [no more than 8 students], interactive, and intense. Seminars run three hours long and include all materials. The Base Program is extremely cost effective and you may even choose to only take the Essay track or to only take the MBE track. These seminars are excellent students taking the bar in any states. These seminars are only offered in Brookline , MA . Please see our pricing guide to see how much you can save! Please note that even though you can choose to take only the Essay track or to take only the MBE track, the course is most effective when taking them both together.

I often stress that memorization is not the key to succeeding on the bar exam, and I still stand by that. You need to know the law, and ANALYZE it, in order to pass. However, there are still some things you need to memorize. Memorizing rules of law is not easy for everyone, but sometimes it’s necessary. Hopefully I can impart some memorization tips!

1. Understand the things you memorize: First and foremost, strive to understand the things you need to memorize. Not only will you remember things with greater ease when you fully understand what you are memorizing, but you can not analyze something (remember, the most important part!) until you understand it!

1. Memorize in short time bursts: Plan your memorization time in short bursts of 5 or 10 minutes. Perhaps take some time out to memorize in between MBE questions, or in between practice essays. Bust out your flashcards in line at Starbucks. Sure, people will give you funny looks, but you won’t care after you pass! If you spend too long trying to memorize something, your brain just shuts down and you cease to be effective. No point in studying if you’re not being effective!

1.  Memorize in short material bursts: See, your brain tends to remember the first and last things it takes in. If you shorten the amount of information you are taking in, it’s more likely to “stick”. This means pick one subject, and even one subtopic, to memorize at a time. For instance, you know you need to memorize the scrutinies for constitutional law. Start with strict scrutiny, and know that you will memorize JUST that first, and save the other scrutinies for the next memorization session. This tip goes well with the short time bursts; pick one scrutiny per commercial break!

1. Be vocal: Teach rules of law to your significant other, your roommate, your mom or your cat. Trust me, your cat needs to know what all the hearsay exceptions are, and will thank you later. Vocalizing something, even if you are just talking to yourself, helps with memorization.

Employing these techniques will not only help you spend your time memorizing effectively, but will also help you with your analysis. Good Luck!
