These recommendations are about studying to pass the bar. They are
not about making you a great lawyer or getting you that high paying law
job. For that you will need more than passing the bars. You will need tenacity,
creativity, concern for others, and a bit of good luck. But no doubt, passing
the bar is essential.
|
| Passing the bar will require more than showing up for bar review every
day, reading the bar review materials, and making an outline. (Although
it should go without saying, that doing those things are basic to passing
the bar.) Passing the bar will require that you take even more responsibility
for your own learning than you have so far. |
| What does that mean? |
| Well, it means knowing how you learn and tailoring your study habits
to maximize your learning. Doing something because everyone else is doing
it is not taking responsibility for your own learning. You must do those
things that will maximize your learning. After an honest analysis of your
learning style, if you determine that any of these recommendations will
not help you maximize your learning, than I hope that you will take charge
of your learning and ignore them. |
 | If you want to pass the bar you must give your attention to several
important areas. |
 | First, you must master any environmental, emotional, and
physical obstacles to your success. |
 | Second, you must make sure that your
study strategy is not seriously flawed, and you must do that NOW!!. |
 | Third,
you must prepare sufficiently by preparing daily and weekly. |
 | Finally, you
must organize and write concise, effective responses to the exam questions. |
