Bar exams rank somewhere near root canals on the list of things you wish you never had to go through. Ask any lawyer to relive the experience, and you'll probably get a response like that of one second-year associate at a D.C. firm: "It's the only thing you'll ever have to do that's actually worse than everything you've heard about it."

The Drama Behind Bar Exams


A tad dramatic? Richard Conviser, a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law and veteran professor at Chicago's ITT/Kent Law School, doesn't think so. That's why, over 30 years ago, he founded the Bar Review Institute (which became the ubiquitous BAR/BRI when it merged with Bay Area Review in 1974) to provide lawyers-to-be with a knowledgeable guide through this Scylla-and-Charybdis of tests. As Conviser points out, the pool of bar-takers is already highly qualified: They have graduated from college, scored well on the LSAT, been accepted to law school, and completed three years of intense academic study (including the notoriously hellacious first year). So it only makes sense that the bar exam should outdo all of the above challenges and serve as a final separator of the attorneys from the also-rans.
