Hello Jessica,

I just wanted to drop by your page and let you know that I just bought the book and finished reading it as I needed a study structure and plan for the CA Bar Exam. As a foreign attorney who recently moved to California, I just found out that I could sit for the CA bar. I didn't know many people who had previously been through this process and most of them recommend to take the Barbri prep course. From my personal experience taking the bar back in Canada, I found that the effort in studying and practicing exam questions is the most important thing. I didn't want to invest thousands of dollars AND commute and have less time to study in a day. Reading your book gave me a detailed structure, a good plan and hope!!!

Thank you for sharing the good news, the knowledge and for being so organized and insightful.

Hi Marie! Thanks for your comment. I agree that ultimately it all comes down to doing the work (studying, practicing) if you want to pass the bar. It sure would be nice if we could get out of doing the hard work simply by paying a company a lot of money! But since we both know that's not possible, you are smart to not waste any time or money! I'm sure you are going to do great and will be practicing in California next spring :) Best of luck in February, and please send me an email when you pass so I can congratulate you!
