Whatever your situation, CBTR's goal is that you must pass the next examination because you cannot afford to do otherwise. 

  • For the Law Student, study techniques are developed that will enable you to integrate class notes, case briefs, horn book information and commercial outlines into a single Issue-Clustering flow chart that will effectively serve your issue-spotting needs on an essay examination. 
  • You are taught the paced and disciplined skills that have been proven to lead to superior examination results and to avoid the kind of anxiety and stress-related "last-minute cramming" approaches typically associated with law school exams. 
  • Tutoring to improve essay writing skills, objective test preparation and research and term paper writing instruction is also available.

More Success For Ali

Cal Bar is pleased to announce that Ali Hinsche continued her remarkable run of success in having just passed the Florida bar exam.

This was her 4th (count 'em: 1, 2, 3, 4) successful bar - on her 1st attempt-following California, New York and Illinois.

While Ali worked with Cal Bar for each state, she also owes her success to persistence, hard work, and in learning how to adapt and apply the Cal Bar test-taking systems to the requirements of each bar exam.
