Below are descriptions of some commercial bar review courses, including some that offer in-person* classes here at the law school, some that offer in-person classes off-campus, and others that offer online and/or mobile classes and materials. Additional providers are listed on FindLaw. We do not endorse any particular bar review provider. We recommend that students independently research the reliability and success rates of all bar review courses before enrolling. Note that the prices listed below are current as of summer 2020.
When selecting a bar prep program, students should consider the type of learning environment that works best for them. For example, if you assimilate information best when sitting in a classroom and listening to a lecture, or if you require strict oversight to stay on schedule, you may not want to rely solely on a self-study program for your bar prep.
*Note that in-person options may not be available due to COVID-19.
