If you are a Rehab client, you may be able to get them to pay for it, assuming your rehab goal is becoming a lawyer.

Subject: Re: [blindLaw] The perennial bar prep question.

Thanks for sending this. I am also beginning to research bar prep options. OMG they are expensive! So I want to get something that's worth the price. I think one of them offers a free course for prepping for the MPRE. I'm going to test that out first.

I'm truly blown away at how expensive it is to study for and take the Bar. I hope there's at least one option that's worth it from an accessibility standpoint and provides lots of practice questions.

Julie
