[blindLaw] Bar Prep Courses

Thu Feb 10 13:47:21 UTC 2022

Late to the discussion but for those like me who mostly rely on their computer’s inbuilt accessibility features (for me: windows high contrast, word and adobe screen readers, and windows magnifier) I found Barbri materials very accessible. Their website didn’t meld well with high contrast settings but apart from that my biggest complaint was the price.

They didn’t do the greatest job at making it accessible, but it does work   It looks like they’re working with accessible 360. I’ve also used Quimbe as a study aid, I found their good in some subjects but not in others, so I don’t know how great their bar review is.
