For years I had been lecturing students about studying the pattern of frequently asked questions in the bar exams. Those seeds I have planted in the minds of the students fell on several “grounds.”

            Some fell on the wayside that is they had just been ignored which resulted in consequences for some of these students. Others fell on “thorny grounds,” the traditional methods and approach of reviewing for the bar soon choked the seeds that is about to grow and soon it withered away.

            Yet some fell on good ground and it bore fruit.

            This work is an example of the seed that has been planted that fell on good ground. The authors of this work have not merely opted to listen and wait for somebody else to do something, but rather they were pro-active and decided to take the challenge I had been posing throughout the years. That is that;

“The bar exam is not that hard, you only need to find out the pattern of frequently asked questions and master these key concepts. “

This is all that is needed to pass or even top the bar exams. I myself am a living testimony to the truth of this principle.  I concur with the statement of Harlan Ellison. There is no such thing as chance, only patterns we do not understand.  Our Creator has created a world that runs on a set of rules and principles. To make use of this “order” is to bring glory to His name. To disregard this order is, in the words of Scripture “ . . . him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”

May this book aid you in your pursuit for the noblest profession.
