| Take a day of the bar every weekend for two months | You take a bar exam, two essays and a Performance Test in class. Take a progress essay and a progess PT at home, for a total of 5 exams per week. Vivian Dempsey who graded both essays and PT's for the Bar, grades every test. The comments tell you the issues, the rules and how you can write more efficiently and reason more clearly. |
|
| Taught
and graded entirely by a former bar grader All the law you need to learn |
Vivian Dempsey identifies the most tested issues and explains the concepts. The Writing Edge book gives you tests to memorize for each issue. The law in all essay subjects is condensed, not by dropping out the crucial details you need, but by laser-beam identification of the issues most frequently tested. Along with the essay book you get 13 new Bonus Law videos to watch in your home. These videos give you better conceptual understanding and broader scope. |
|
| Learn an approach that works on every performance test | Vivian goes over every test, reviewing the law and giving you more practice in her technique of extracting every issue hidden in an essay. |
|
| New! 24 hours of added lectures! | Bonus Law Lectures Thirteen bonus video tapes you get to use in your own home place each subject in a broader context to deepen your understanding of the law you need to memorize and while covering peripheral issues that the Bar has tested only once. These 26 extra hours of lectures will make sure you understand the legal concepts and are ideal for attorneys from other states as well as students returning to exam study after year or more. Included are two videos summarizing Vivian's famous PT method. |
|
| Get meaningful feedback | The Writing Edge is the best of both worlds, combining the discipline of a schedule and practice exams with focused black letter law and the intimacy of a personal trainer. |
|
| You get more than a class--you get a coach | Vivian grades every paper you write, every week. You can reach her by phone, fax or e-mail every day. The classes are small so you get a lot of personal attention and support. Vivian is with you live in Berkeley (on Sundays) and L.A. (on Saturdays). |

| How do I know if The Writing Edge is best for me? | Next to buying a house or choosing a job, there are few decisions that have as great an impact on your life. Making the wrong choice can cost you a year of your live and tens of thousands of dollars in lost earnings. So make your decision carefully. Look at the course materials. Evaluate the instructors. Is he or she a former California Bar Exam grader? How well does he or she write? Will I matter to this person? How large are the classes? Check out the course references. Talk to the instructor you are trusting with your future. In the final analysis, you need to trust the course or person -- or both --that you have chosen to lead you to success on the Bar exam. You must trust your instincts. |
