Thoughts on bar courses?
Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2014 7:04 pm
I'm looking for something fairly specific in a bar course and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what would be the best fit (i'm guessing nothing will fit the criteria exactly). I know the general pros and cons of each and have done a fair bit of research but all of the courses are fairly opaque (they just suggest they will give you everything you need without really saying what they give you). Firm is paying directly so the money is irrelevant.
What i'm looking for in a course:
State: Texas
(1) Content that is available when I want it, not on a schedule (specifically thinking of BarBri and their lectures here). My bar study will have somewhat unique circumstances so I would like to get started on studying via audio lectures as soon as I'm done with finals rather than waiting for the classes to start up to be able to see lectures
(2) Audio lectures that can be downloaded/played on a phone, not streamed, that are useful and I can just listen to without needing to fill out handouts (can I just do Barbri lectures without filling out handouts or are the handouts essential information I will need later and can only get from there?)
(3) Thorough long and short outlines that are sufficient study material to do reasonably well/pass without needing to go through a bunch of other-style material
(4) Lots of good practice questions and practice essays
I know BarBri sort of fits this mold but I was wondering if any of the other courses seem to fit better. Having downloadable audio lectures is essential, given my circumstances. Outlines is just a preference as I know that's how I study best.
