 Good ideas - not geared for CA law July 19, 2008
This is a good product, and gave good insights into how to write bar essays. It is not specifically geared to CA, which is fine if you aren't in CA. I learned some techniques and strategies that I have applied and improved my essays. It does not provide a lot of samples that I found helpful, but the instruction part is good.
 Essay Prep for the Bar June 30, 2008
Very thorough well written exercise that helps prepare people for any bar exam question. I would recommend it for anyone taking the bar in any state. It covers several topics, and includes actual sample essays from a variety of states. THESE ARE ACTUAL BAR EXAM QUESTIONS THAT WERE USED ON PAST BAR EXAMS. No matter what state you are in, it will still be helpful. It is very beneficial to actually get hands on practice and write out the essays.
Review on Bar Review Prep December 1, 2007

I thought this book was pretty useful. It was more effective for me to learn writing bar exam essays in this manner in comparison to BarBri.
Good as a companion piece July 31, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This will not get you through the bar exam alone, but it's a really good companion piece to other study materials I've found. You may not agree with everything in the book, but the more information the merrier. If you're looking for a cure-all, this is not it; but I do recommend it. There are a couple of other bar related tools that I think are worthy as well:A Lawyer Walks Into A Bar. Also: Barman: Ping-Pong, Pathos, and Passing the Bar
Bar Candidates: This book & CD is a MUST HAVE! May 15, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Dr. Gallagher uses a "unique" style to help us understand where our writing is going astray. The Bar Examiners can be your friends, if you practice writing like a lawyer. Her method is made easy to understand, unlike other techniques which must be read and practiced without any support. Her CD gives helpful advice in general and helps you through the writing process.
If you can afford to spend thousands of dollars on additional Bar Prep, consider an alternative. Otherwise, try Dr. Gallagher's techniques and you WILL become a better legal thinker and writer.
