@Ellee Crawford Hi Ellee! Thanks so much for sharing this. It takes a lot of courage to say out loud what so many of us with ADHD silently feel. Even though I took the Bar 20 years ago, I still have very vivid memories about preparing for it and taking it. Bar prep is definitely intimidating, but I’ve found a few things that help ease that working-memory weight. Here's 2 of them: 1. Externalize your memory. I lean on checklists, color-coded outlines, and even sticky notes. Think of them as “memory anchors” so you don’t waste brainpower trying to hold everything at once. I used to re-write my outlines by hand over and over again -- many, many times-- to externalize the information. It helped my ADHD brain's executive functions a lot! 2. Compassion + pacing. Give yourself permission to move at your rhythm. The Bar is a marathon, not a sprint, especially the time preparing for it - which at the time I took it, I prepared for about 3 months after graduation until I took the Bar. Remember: Progress (not perfection) is what gets you across the finish line. When are you taking the Bar?

@Peter Emelue Aww! Thank you for your kind words. I agree how English has helped unify us all to share our messages. I appreciate you. 🙏

Hi Daniella! This is such an insightful question. Listen to how your brain wants you to study - based on your question, I can tell you have good instincts. 🥰 In my experience when I took the Bar 20 years ago, skipping around worked extremely well for my brain. Also, I agree with your strategy. By studying the Business Entities/WTE Bar prep while you’re taking that same course in law school is a fantastic strategy! I used a similar strategy when I was in law school. It helped me finish law school in 2 years (instead of 3) while being prepared for the Bar at the same time - helping me pass the Bar the first time. I’m saying this with humility to let you know that you’re on the right track. 🥰 Have fun with your Business Entities class! I liked that topic in law school and ended up working with a many business entities and issues during my legal practice, even now. If you have any questions about it, just let me know here or by DM. I love simplifying complicated legal concepts. I’m a proud geek. 😄 I appreciate you. 🙏

Hi Jackson! Congratulations on starting your first year in law school! I love your optimism especially about where this profession takes you. As a 20-year practicing lawyer, the legal profession has taken me on both traditional and non-traditional legal journey. It has been a fulfilling ride! 💕 I wish you the best either way your own legal journey. 🙏

This is great! I’ll keep your link in mind for law students I mentor. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate you. 🙏

Welcome back! Con Law was one of my favorite classes back in law school. It's still my favorite topic when I'm reading case law for fun. Yes, I'm a proud geek who reads case law for fun, especially the seminal cases from our current US Supreme Court. 🥰 Evidence can be a challenging concept in law school. The concepts clicked for me only when I became a trial lawyer and actually had to use the rules of evidence in court. My lived experience with both Con Law and Evidence concepts helped me simplify them. In law school, it's harder to do that. It's harder to relate to concepts that seem so confusing. So, you're not alone. 💞 Who knew Hearsay was such a difficult concept when we hear it so much on TV? 😄 What specific concept feels hard to understand right now? Maybe I can simplify it somehow.
