Jennifer
Regent of the Faculty of Law
Jennifer was unsuccessful with Barbri twice before enrolling in an AmeriBar class.
“I felt very well prepared for the exam and well versed in all areas of the law. With Barbri, I never felt like this the first few times I took it. I can't say enough about how prepared I felt and how relieved I was after failing twice to come back and only making it after six years outlawing."
