[blindLaw] Bar Prep Questions

[miguel casillas]

Hi Julie,
I think barbri's methods work generally but they sort of throw the whole
kitchen sink and you figure out what works for you. The tips you are
describing sound more like of the type dealing with the time crunch. If you
have extra time these methods won't really seem as useful or with jaws,
downright counterproductive.
Good luck,
Miguel
