Description:
This book is for law students and their families and friends preparing to pass California’s Baby Bar exam.
If you are getting ready to take California’s Baby Bar, this book is written for you and to you –to help you succeed. This book will also help families, friends, spouses, and partners understand just how stressful and time consuming the exam really is. It is not “just another test” and it’s not a baby anything. It is a difficult exam, and you need to do a lot of work to pass.
In the words of the bar examiners: The First-Year Law Students' Examination, or "baby bar," is administered in June and October. The exam is comprised of 100 multiple-choice questions. Two exam sessions are available each day, allowing applicants to choose between a morning or afternoon session. There is one set break in each session.
If you are studying at a California law school that is not accredited by the American Bar Association or California State Bar, participating in California’s Law Office Study Program, or if you must take the Baby Bar for another reason, this book is for you. The book’s exam strategies will help on law school exams and the Baby Bar.
This book is a success guide, not a rule book. Rules needed for the Baby Bar are in West Academic’s Step-by-Step Guides to Torts, Contracts, and Criminal Law, and practice questions are in the Adaptibar FYLSX course. With this book, the Step-by-Step Guides, and Adaptibar, you will have the rules, the practice resources, the motivation to study, strategies to overcome challenges, and techniques to help you achieve your success goals, pass the Baby Bar, finish law school, pass the bar examination, and enjoy a thriving legal career.
