About Us
Lee Burgess
Lee has been helping people prepare for the bar exam since 2009, inside and outside of the law school environment. Lee is convinced that there’s no one right way to prepare for the bar exam – we all have different needs and learn in different ways. The key is to figure out what approach fits your study style (and available funds) and make the most of it. She created the Bar Exam Toolbox to help you figure that out, and to provide you with the resources you need to find bar exam success.
Alison Monahan
Alison took two bar exams, and somehow passed both despite studying a grand total of about four weeks and never taking BARBRI (at least the second time she had the "I was working full time" excuse). She’s always on the lookout for unconventional ways to streamline your bar studying, so you can pass the bar exam and get on with your life!
