Good bar review

Fairly comprehensive bar review material. Good narrator. Could be all you need to get you over that last hurdle.

Perfection!

An absolute must-read for anyone taking a bar examination in the United States. It doesn't get better than this, all of the big-box bar review programs boiled down into concise rule statements, ready for memorization. I am convinced I could have skipped law school and settled down with this book and passed the bar exam. Very well put together.

Short Snappy Rules

I listened to this book probably 30 times during my last month and a half of bar prep. I had my full rules on flash cards I was using, but I listened to this book as a supplement. I liked how the rules flowed, and it was a great way to make sure I didn’t get the dreaded mind blank when trying to remember my full rule statements. I will recommend this book to anyone that takes the bar.

Good Material not so great narration

I like the contents of this book and I have the hard copy as well. However, the narration is hard to follow because there are not enough pauses and the author who is the narrator moves on too fast from one issue to another. This is problematic because sometimes when listening it’s hard to follow along. It would have been much more helpful if the narrator paused for a little longer after each rule and before moving on to the next rule.

Very useful!

Very concise info ls and clear narration. Even I'm a foreign lawyer I can get understanding 100%, because the narrador is clear.

Awesome

I hear the rules most of the day. Doesn't bother. I highly recommend it!

If you don’t like flash cards, this is for you.

I actually like handmade flash cards, my trouble is I don’t really have the time to sit down and review them. However, I can listen to this while cleaning, running errands or laying in the bed resting my eyes from an exhaustive day.

One of the reviews said something about the rules being incorrect and you will fail because of it. That’s silly, if you look at many of the sample answers on the California bar website, you’ll see how often many examinees write the rule incorrectly and still passed. Besides these rules in this book were pretty accurate (but the abortion rule wasn’t updated)

A blessing

This book is truly a blessing! It helps me retain the needed legal knowledge more efficiently. It is a great supplement to use for bar prep!!!

Blessings,

Perfect for foreing students and attorneys

I also have the paper book and the app. I need to say that they are helping me tremendously to feel prepared for this extremely difficult test! He cuts all the unnecessary junk that you don't need and keep the rules simple and easy to remember. I can't thank Ed enough. It is important for foreign law students like me to be able to learn the rules in a more manageable way. Thank you, Ed, for this amazing book!
