US Bar Preparation Course

Our US Bar Preparation Course has been designed to prepare you for either the New York or California Bar Exam. You’ll cover a range of core topics and have the choice to specialise in either state’s legislation, depending on eligibility.

The course has been developed in partnership with Themis, one of the largest US Bar exam preparation providers. Find out more about the course and our partnership with Themis by watching the video below.

How the course works

The New York and California Bar exams take place twice a year, on the last Tuesday and Wednesday of February and July. Our US Bar Preparation Course is designed to be flexible so that you can plan your learning around your other commitments. You can begin the course at any point within the booking window; however we recommend starting the course as early as possible before the exam date to ensure you're fully prepared.

The course involves approximately 500 hours of study in total, but how long it takes you to complete will depend on how much time you are able to dedicate each week to studying. For example, if you study for around 10 hours a week, you might expect the course to take about 50 weeks. If you can commit more hours to studying, you may be able to complete the course in a shorter period.

Our team can support you in planning a realistic study schedule that works for you, ensuring you give yourself an achievable amount of time to prepare for the exam sitting you are aiming for.
