from 2019-01-14T10:00

:: ::

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we're talking about how the bar exam poses unique challenges to foreign-trained attorneys.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • When and how you should start learning substantive law
  • Why it’s important to only take the bar exam when you are ready
  • Why traditional bar exam preparation courses may not be enough for foreign-trained attorneys
  • What resources you can use to supplement traditional bar exam preparation and simplify your approach
  • The extra challenge of reading and writing in a foreign language, and how to handle it
  • Why you must learn to write in the style the bar graders expect
  • How to approach multiple-choice questions (hint: with TONS of strategic practice!)
  • Why you can’t ignore the performance test, and how best to approach it
