  • Really helpful, even before starting bar prep!

    I’m using this to help me prepare for upcoming classes and get some familiarity with topics ahead of time. The listen and learn episodes with the rules and hypos are super helpful, and I’m basically going to have this podcast on repeat until my fall semester starts.
