[blindLaw] Bar Prep Questions

[Ronza Othman]

Hey Julie, I lived and died by Barbara and loved it. I credited it for my success and in fact did some tutoring for bar exam takers early on in my career. I think that we always have to adapt some of the techniques to how we blind people read, but things like reading in reverse order was something that I definitely used as tactic. However, the content reviews were definitely the more useful for me. Good luck.
