Skills Workshops Option

The Skills Workshops Option was designed for repeat takers who were unsuccessful on the bar exam because of their inability to apply the law and not because of their knowledge of the law itself. It is a series of workshops focusing specifically on essay writing approaches, performance test skills and multistate techniques - not on the substantive law.

Substantive Law Upgrade
For those of you who did not take an adequate set of substantive law notes in your previous bar review program or who simply need to learn the newly testable material for the July 2007 exam, you can upgrade to our full Bar Review Course - also known as Skills Workshops Option with Substantive Law Upgrade - and get our substantive law lectures and outlines for an additional $700! Our multistate software, containing an additional 2000 questions, is included with the substantive law upgrade. (Substative Law Outlines without Upgrade available for $400)
