The

Bar Course Problem

  • ❌ The greatest challenge students face on the bar course is the volume of material they are required to absorb & recall for 10+ exams during a pressured time window of 7/8 months.
  • ❌ Prior to the bar course, students' advocacy experience is often limited to mooting and debating competitions.
  • ❌ Very few bar students have conducted legal writing in the form of drafting and opinion writing during university.
  • ❌ Exposure to exam-style questions such as Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and Single Best Answers (SBAs) is rare.
  • ❌ Those hoping to secure pupillage will be seeking a minimum overall classification of ‘Very Competent’ which leaves a small margin for academic error and performance.
