Congratulations! You are in law school. Getting to this point is an accomplishment in itself. Now, here comes the hard part and the honest truth about the study of law. Aside from being time consuming, it is not enough preparation to read the case books all year, brief all the assignments and then expect to pass your finals and ultimately the bar examination. A better use of time is to obtain a handle on the law early on and then start applying it to as many practice examinations as possible.  Knowing the law is important but being able to apply it to examinations is everything. Issue spotting, writing good analysis and being organized on examinations only comes from practicing with other tested examinations.

To assist you in your development of becoming a good test-taker, Bar Made Easy has written and published an Essay Examination Workbook which includes detailed instructions on how to study in law school and prepare for your examinations. Plus, the Workbook provides fifteen (15) essay examinations from Torts, Contracts and Criminal Law which will allow you to practice applying your learned knowledge of the law. The essays include issue spotting checklists and well written model answers. In addition, the Workbook includes Bar Made Easy’s Ten Step Approach How To Take A Law School And Bar Essay Examination®. This is a foolproof, easy to read, step-by-step approach on how to write a solid exam answer. We suggest students make copies of this well tested approach and keep it handy for reference when taking practice examinations. In time, students will be able to apply these important steps automatically to any examination and truly write a superior answer with confidence. 

To assist you in learning the law, Bar Made Easy has developed a series of books entitled Bar Made Easy Substantive Outlines and Workbooks. The first subjects soon to be available are Torts I and Torts II. In addition to the comprehensive subject outlines, the workbooks include mini-hypothetical examinations and answers, mnemonics for law retention, checklists of subject issues for issue spotting and exam organization, detailed inner checklists of testable issues for structure in writing your answers and a glossary of the subjects’ legal terms. 

All examinations whether for law school or for the bar examination test the students’ ability to apply the law to the facts.  Thus, the application of the law to the facts is the key to a student’s success on an examination. The Essay Examination Workbook will help you develop your skill in issue spotting and analyzing the law. By consistent repetition of breaking apart the issues in an exam the student will develop an understanding of the law and heighten their analytical skills. In addition, a model answer is provided for each of the fifteen (15) essays so that the student can compare their answer with a well written and attainable one. As mentioned, the Bar Made Easy Substantive Outlines and Workbooks will provide you with the concise law and issue writing approaches and checklists that, in conjunction with the Essay Examination Workbook, will insure your law school and bar examination success!

Both of these books are a must for first year students. For additional information about these books and other courses and products, please visit our Products page.
