We suggest all law students take The Basic Exam Course™ while in law school. Academic success in law school translates into bar success.

More than twenty thousand students have attended The Skillman Method™ courses since 1978. Skillman students have gone on to become top lawyers, tenured professors, judges, appellate court justices, and public advocates. One Skillman lawyer, let us know that he is admitted in eight jurisdictions.
Students' Quote
“Professor Skillman’s Excel program provides students with an effective, systematic approach to the studying of the law. My classmates and I are convinced that if we, minority students, were taught Professor Skillman’s effective study methods during our first year, we could have had a much better chance of performing better or succeeding in law school.”
