"After two attempts spanning nine years, I finally passed the New York State Bar Exam thanks in large part to Jackson Mumey’s Celebration Bar Review Course...Mr. Mumey’s methods might seem unconventional but I am proof that they work. Do things his way. Take that leap of faith. There is nothing more heartbreaking than failing an exam because of poor technique. The Celebration Bar Review Course approach will give you the edge that you need to get maximum points in all areas of the New York Bar Exam. After completing all of my assignments which included reading, listening to prepared lectures, writing essays and MPTs and completing hundreds of MBE question under timed conditions, I was ready.
In February 2009, I headed into the exam confident, well rested and secure in the knowledge that I knew enough to pass and that I would have enough time to finish. Mumey’s personal touch and exceptional service continued long after the exam was done. Four days before the results came out, I received an email alert from him and so on the day in question, I was composed and psychologically ready. My hands were literally shaking as I opened the email. One word came into focus, “CONGRATULATIONS”.
I will always be grateful to the team at the Celebration Bar Review Course because I could not have passed without their expertise and guidance. I recommend this course unequivocally." Foreign Trained Attorney, Passed NY Feb 2009

Foreign Trained Attorneys ("FTA") Eligibility:

We receive many requests for information from Attorneys who were educated outside of the United States asking about their eligibility to take the US Bar Exams. We cannot answer those questions; only the bar examiners of the specific states can make determinations of eligibility, often on a case-by-case basis. Please contact the bar examiners directly for a determination of your eligibility to take the exam.

At present, the only three states we service that consider all FTA's to take the bar exam are New York, California and Texas. Some graduates of Puerto Rico may take the Florida Exam. Our understanding is that FTA's may NOT sit for the bar exams of Florida, Georgia or New Jersey, or for the Multistate Bar Exam by itself, other than as noted above.

For more information about your eligibility to take the exam, please contact the bar examiners using the links below:

California Bar Examiners: www.calbar.org 
New York Bar Examiners: www.nybarexam.org
Texas Bar Examiners: www.ble.state.tx.us 
Florida Bar Examiners: www.floridabarexam.org

Once you have received a determination of eligibility, please contact us about our course for that exam.

You should also note that FTA's MUST take the full bar exam, not a shorter form such as a "state-only" or "Attorney" exam. California applicants MAY be required to take the First Year Exam in addition to the general bar exam at a later date. The California examiners will let you know if this is necessary.

For Foreign Trained Attorneys who are already qualified to take the bar exam, there are a few things to consider when you place your order:

• We service students from around the world with our Homestudy course. Because of time zone differences, some of our foreign attorney students choose our materials-only option. If you prefer, you may select our Basic telephone mentored course (limited to 50 students per exam) or our new Premium Mentoring Service (limited to 25 students per exam) but you will have to be able to speak with us by telephone during our normal office hours (1-7pm eastern - NY - time) to use these services.
• There is a $150 shipping and handling fee for all shipments outside of the U.S.  In addition, you are responsible for customs and duty. Risk of loss or theft of the audio device from the package is the student's responsibility. Note that while we ship via International US Mail, customs in your country may hold shipments for several days or longer. You should plan on some delay between ordering and receipt of materials. Alternatively, you may order any course (with any mentoring option) as an ONLINE course only and save shipping and customs fees! Click here for details.
• The course is rigorous, but does NOT require previous knowledge of United States law. If you are fluent in English, you will need about 200 hours of study for most exams. No additional materials are necessary, but you should allow ample time for your studies. If English is not your first language, you should plan on 250-350 hours of study before taking the bar exam.
• Finally, if you order and receive our course, and later find you are unable to take the exam or enter the US for the exam for any reason, there are no refunds for tuition. This policy exists because of our limited enrollment capacity and is non-negotiable. In other words, please do not order the course unless you intend to take the bar exam or are willing to forego your tuition if you are denied the opportunity to take the exam.

Comments from some past Celebration Bar Exam Review Foreign Trained Attorney Students

"Hey Jackson I passed both sections of the Florida Exam. Thank you, very much! I didn't call because English is my second language and I can't express myself very well . But the review works so good that even with my lack of English understanding I passed on the first try. I highly recommend the course for all non-English speakers because you can work thru the materials at your own rate"
Alfredo Ortiz - PASSED FL July 2008

"Having just received the fantastic news that I passed both the Feb 2007 NY Bar Exam and the MPRE, I would like to express my sincere thanks to Jackson and the Celebration Bar Review Team for all of the help and support I have received over the past few months.  As an English trained lawyer taking the exams for the first time (and working full time in my firm's busy Corporate department), I knew that my journey would be a difficult one but with the clear and concise materials and invaluable mentoring I was able to confidently work through the study guide and, importantly, remain calm as the exams loomed closer.
Regular conferences with Jackson helped to minimize my fears about unfamiliar exam formats and new essay writing techniques and it was such a great relief to know that I could send an email with any queries or concerns and that I was sure to get a quick response.  My experience should give hope to other foreign trained attorneys out there who may
have heard (as I did) the horror stories telling that it is impossible to pass first time unless you have previously studied US law.  That may be true with other courses but not this one.  With dedication and adherence to the study guide (and Jackson's instructions and advice!) it is perfectly possible to come to exam day with the ability to pass first time!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!"  Jennifer Davies PASSED Feb 2007 NY Exam

"I am extremely happy to announce that I passed the New York State Bar Exam!!!
I still can't believe it! Thank you for all you did for me! With God's help, hard work and your tutoring I managed to pass one of the toughest exams in America! It is even more incredible, because as a foreign trained attorney and non-native English speaker (I am Polish) I had way more challenging quest. As it turned out, your materials and approach are the best available on the market. Certainly, it not always was easy, but following Jackson's advice and adhering strictly to the Personal Study Guide is just enough  to be successful on the bar exam. I recommend Celebration Bar Review to all those, who want the bar exam to be only a one-time ordeal."  Maciek Huzior, PASSED Feb 2007 NY Exam
 

"I passed the July 2006 NY Bar Exam.  As a foreign-trained lawyer working full-time in a non-legal job, it was a challenging undertaking to sit the NY Bar exam.  You are a gifted teacher and the course notes fully complemented your lectures.  With your materials I always felt confident that I was learning well, and enjoyed it too.  The commentary in the practice MBE questions were on-target and a great learning tool.  I could not imagine a better way to learn the material and to keep a sense of humor and perspective at the same time." Andrea Jansz  PASSED NY  Exam

"Don't be a sheep and follow the flock by taking more common courses such as BarBri. As a foreign law graduate I decided to take the Celebration Bar Exam Review course and passed the California Bar first time round! Celebration really emphasizes the importance of skills based learning, rather than attempting to cram your brain with a daunting amount of information that you do not really understand. If you put in the effort, communicate with your mentor, follow the course instructions and believe in yourself - you really WILL pass. Feel free to email me if you need any further convincing, and I will be happy to discuss my Celebration experience with you." Jade Kelly, PASSED CA  Exam
 

"Passing the New York Bar exam with Celebration Bar Exam Review after a disastrous first try with one of the "big names" in bar review was a wonderful experience from day 1 till the end. Don't get me wrong, studying for the bar is a dreadful thing, especially if like me, you left law school about 10 years ago, come from Europe, have three small kids, work and therefore have to study between 9 and 12 every night. The materials provided were easy to read and to assimilate. I finally got to understand what CPLR was all about and most importantly what was worth remembering or not. The lecture tapes were great and helped me create the right size type of summaries that were excellent for the last 14 days of review.This course is also wonderful in preventing you from sinking into insanity. The psychological coaching is fantastic. It is unbelievable how a few phone calls and all these e-mails from Jackson saved me from despair, stress and helped me to focus on the final goal. When I walked into the exam room, I knew what I had to do and how and most importantly I had learned how to deal with the stress, time pressure and Jackson had built in me a lot of self confidence."
Anne-Laure Jung,  PASSED  NY  Exam    
 

"Just wanted to let you know that I passed.  Celebration's subject outlines were sufficiently comprehensive to pass the exam yet not overwhelming in minute detail.  The step by step assignment based study guide was tremendously helpful in planning and pacing my studies.  The one on one individual essay feedback sessions along with the online assistance program ensured that all my problem areas and questions were being addressed."
Andrew Nahm  PASSED CA  Exam
 

"Celebration Bar Exam Review is an excellent bar provider for foreign educated law graduates. The home study structure of the course enabled me to focus on the relevant material and learn the test-taking techniques which to me, were unfamiliar territory.  With the mentoring option I was able to realize and improve my weak areas.  My success with the NY bar exam, as a foreign law graduate, is a testament of the high-quality course content and teaching from Celebration and its instructors."
Michelle Lee, Esq. PASSED NY  Exam

"When I decided to take the Florida Bar Exam I knew that I needed a review course.  I am from San Juan, Puerto Rico...  The materials included were clear and easy to understand considering the fact that English is not
my first language, I am a Spanish speaking person. I passed both parts of the Florida Bar Exam on my first try. I recommend Celebration Bar Exam Review 100%"
Miguel Romero, Esq. PASSED FL  Exam

"I indeed passed the NY Bar Exam. That's even more remarkable, because I'm a German lawyer who just did his LL.M. study in California ...So in case you have some interested Germans for your classes, you can refer them to me to recommend your Celebration Bar Exam Review course."
Marc Rieker  PASSED NY Exam
