When you register for one of our programs, you will practice and improve your essay skills guided by an attorney mentor who hand grades the assignments you submit. Personalized feedback will help improve your style, sharpen your ability to identify issues, and mold your essays to Bar Examiners? expectations.
The essay portion of the Bar Exam has become increasingly difficult. Most states test multiple areas of law in a single essay question. LawTutors MiniEssays? focus on particular areas of law to assist with the implementation of the IRAC methods preferred by Bar Examiners.
While other exam candidates will be trying to master the elements of their state exam in a mass classroom setting, you will have your own private or semi-private Attorney Instructor.
1. Small Group Essay Workshops for ANY Bar Exam: All bar review students should take the Base Program, which is taught by the LawTutors founder Tania Shah, or Vice President Instructor Melissa Gill, and covers the seven core subjects on every bar exam. This will serve as your “Base” for bar review study and will guide your through a strict and intense review. The Base Program’s Essay workshops focus on the key IRAC elements that you will need to know for ANY bar exam. For the essay workshop, you get two of your essays also personally graded outside of workshop by both Melissa and Tania.
Each workshop is small group [no more than 8 students], interactive, and intense. Workshops run three hours long and include all materials. The Base Program is extremely cost effective and you may even choose to only take the Essay track or to only take the MBE track. These workshops are excellent for students taking the bar in any state. These workshops are only offered in Brookline, MA. Please see our pricing guide to see how much you can save! Please note that even though you can choose to take only the Essay track or to take only the MBE track, the course is most effective when taking them both together.
2. One-On-One Essay Program: in conjunction with your base program, you may choose to enroll in a one-on-one program. The one-on-one program supplements the Base Program but adds the state-specific essay subjects that the Base Program does not cover, as well as more personalized attention that you might not receive in workshops. You will receive a personalized study schedule addressed to suit your specific needs. You will also receive feedback from our Licensed Attorney Instructors, which will increase your ability to tackle any bar exam essay or multiple choice questions. You may choose 4 hours, 10 hours [includes 1 hours free] or 20 hours [includes 3 hours free]. Please check our pricing schedule. One-On-One tutoring is offered in Massachusetts, California and New York.
3. One-on-One Distance Learning: Those students who are taking LawTutors from any state other than Massachusetts, California or New York should not worry that they are not able to participate in the Base Program. Your Attorney Instructor will incorporate a Distance Base Program into your individualized plan.
4. Two-Day Intensive Massachusetts Essay Workshop: For students who are taking the Massachusetts Bar Exam, this two-day workshop is an excellent addition focusing on the Massachusetts Specific non-MBE topics. Students have found immense value out of this intensive review, and hence it is back by popular demand!

Massachusetts, New York and California “What Not To Write” Book
We have to admit, here at LawTutors we love that show What Not To Wear on TLC and wondered if we could relay the same message about bar exam essay writing that the producers of the show do about fashion. So, here it is, a tool to help you learn what NOT to write on the bar exam, as well as what TO write. We are also hoping we can be just as entertaining, but we will settle for your learning valuable skills and passing the exam! How is this book different than any other book on writing essays for the bar exam? Well, first of all, we show you REAL essay answers: all essays in this book are questions from past bar exams, and the answers are actual essays written by bar candidates. Nothing within the actual essays has been changed; even grammar and spelling are kept intact. This gives you an idea of what “good” and “bad” essays look like through the eyes of the bar examiner. The only thing that has changed in between what they saw and what you are seeing is the handwriting.
