Successful BARWINNERS student, Alex Shore (now Attorney at Law, right) at her swearing in ceremony with Shari Karney, Esq. (left)
I am so extremely happy! I am also glad we spoke when we did. It was because of you and the entire BARWINNERS team that I passed. Thank you so much for the words of wisdom and for pushing me to think differently about my own potential. For, anyone who wants my opinion about which bar prep-course to take, you know that I will say BARWINNERS! Thanks again and keep up the excellent work.
Alejandro Becerra
Attorney at Law, UCLA School of Law
My MBE scores soared thanks to you and everyone on your team. These are the three things I valued most about your course: 1.) Paul Fredrix' MBE lectures. I shudder to think what my score would have been without them. 2.) Your topic-specific writing tips, headnote tips (especially the instruction to headnote "RELEVANCE" at the beginning of every evidence issue) and the Approach Book. 3.) Leonard's hypnosis exercises. These were wonderful for reducing my stress levels while I was studying.
