[blindLaw] The perennial bar prep question. (Cerridwyn Nordstrom)

[Maura Kutnyak]

Thank you so much Cerrigwin for the details. Shorter lectures do sound more manageable/tolerable during the marathon of bar prep. And I’m glad to know that they have the MBE questions. Thanks Caleb for the second affirmative vote!

Sincerely,
