The ubiquitous question on law school campuses today is: what does it take to help graduates succeed on the bar exam? The responses differ depending on who you ask, and many of those responses are more reflective of wishful thinking than long-term planning. Despite the wishes of many law school administrators there is no one-size-fits-all solution, and bar success cannot be accomplished in one semester and $500, or even two semesters and $5000. Bar success is built brick by brick, semester by semester, over the course of a law school career.
