"CELEBRATION BAR REVIEW IS THE BEST BAR PREP COURSE HANDS DOWN!  Those other courses don't even stand a chance.  The course works for anyone with a busy & hectic lifestyle.  I was extremely satisfied with the course materials and one on one mentoring sessions with Jackson.  He will be on your side every step of the way and is the best coach out there! He personally guided me and told me the do's and don'ts when taking the bar exam.  He predicted all the essays on my Exam.  His course also predicted accurately what your MBE score will be on the exam. I actually scored higher than the practice exams!  His techniques will teach you how to write the perfect Essay and MPT responses.  In fact I would call him right now if I had to study for another state bar!  Don't wait to fail the bar exam -- take charge and take his course right away. "

"Just wanted to let you know that I passed the July 2007 Georgia One-Day Attorney's Examination with a score of 157.  Originally, I am a Florida attorney who took and passed the Florida Bar examination back in July of 2000, after using a competitor's course that was recently named in a class action lawsuit.  I only scored a 147 on the Florida section of the Florida Bar examination, which leads me to conclude that your course is better or that the Georgia Bar is easier.  (I thought the Georgia bar was quite challenging).
 
Pursuant to my Google search, I found that you have one of the few courses that prepare Bar applicants for the Georgia attorney's examination.  After having been a JAG prosecutor, defense attorney, or military justice instructor for the past 5 1/2 years at Ft. Benning, Georgia, I was nervous that I would be rusty in subjects such as Torts, Contracts, Civ Pro, and Property. However, I felt very confident that I passed the Attorney's exam on the drive home from Atlanta after the examination.
 
I ordered my course in early June, so I read along with the outline as I listened to my iPod. I'm sure that my result would have been even better had I read the outline prior to listening to the corresponding lecture, the way you recommend.  But, while I do not recommend disregarding your syllabus, it is possible to cram your 3 month course into about 30 days of full-time, 8-hours-a-day studying.
 
Thanks for all the prayers and the excellent instruction.  As a Christian, I knew the investment in your course was money well spent when you stated in your orientation lecture that you would pray for us.  I would highly recommend your course to anyone taking the Georgia Attorney's examination. " Kyle Fischer

 

"I passed the July Georgia bar exam.  This was my second attempt and I believe the sole reason I passed this time was my renewed emphasis on the Multistate questions.  I made a habit of practicing 10-25 questions every evening while I was studying.  This resulted in the increase I needed to pass the exam.  Thank you for taking the time to put together the exam information.  It is a monumental task and I appreciate your hard work and dedication to your students. I will be happy to recommend your system to other bar takers." Jeremy Wessels PASSED

"I was extremely satisfied with the Celebration course for the Georgia bar. Both the books and the lectures were strong--in particular, I appreciated the lecturers' focus on presenting and explaining the law in a straightforward fashion, without any editorializing. The practice materials were also very good, and I felt that I had plenty to occupy myself with in preparation. And as for personal attention, I think there's just no comparison between Celebration and the courses that most of my friends took. Not only did the mentoring feature help me with the nuts and bolts of the essays, it also produced confidence in having somebody tracking my progress.
Add in the fact that I was able to study sitting out on the beach and by the pool while most of my friends were watching a video in a classroom, and it becomes a no-brainer :). If I ever need to prepare for another bar exam in the future, I am sure that I will first check to see if Celebration offers a course for that state." Chris Bowden, PASSED
 

"I passed the exam but, like I said right after the exam, I felt I would pass the exam.  I have never been more confident after an exam as I was after the Georgia Bar Exam.  The cassette tapes were a life saver.  As a practicing professional who reads transcripts all day, the last thing I want to do at night is read outlines.  This course was exactly what I needed.  If I were to take another bar exam, I definitely would hope that Celebration makes materials for that state's exam."

"As you probably know by now I did pass the Georgia exam. When I did this over twenty five years ago I told myself that I would never do it again but here I am. The most important thing about your course was the emphasis on doing the essays and following the method you suggested and staying within the time limits. The second thing to remember is that it is a pass-fail system, which makes a little easier when you are not sure about the question that you have answered. My biggest problem at the beginning was following your suggestion of how to outline and analyze and having to hedge on the answers, especially after having decided thousands of cases as a judge and having written hundreds of decisions. I would recommend the course to others. The materials were well organized and easy to follow (even for an old guy like me!)."
Raul Figueroa, PASSED
 

"I am happy to report to you that I passed the Feb 2003 Georgia exam!  I appreciate your honesty, encouragement, and guidance as I prepared for the exam.  Your program of personal mentoring was exactly what I needed!  Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers for me as I got ready for and took the exam.  God bless you as you help others prepare for their exams as well!"

"After taking the Bar Bri review course SEVERAL times and failing the bar.....I decided to try Celebration Bar Exam Review, because I needed to get some feedback on what I was doing wrong.  At first, I did not like the fact that Jackson required me to write as he "instructed". I even tried to revert to my old writing style, but Jackson assured me that he would not  critique my work if I chose to revert back to my old writing style....besides as Jackson stated to me " it didn't work the other times, so try it my way".  So needless to say, I tried it Celebration's way and IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!  I passed the July '02 bar exam and I know that Jackson played and major part in my success."
 Tabitha Solomon, PASSED 

Just writing to let you know I passed the July 2002 GA bar! The Celebration Bar Exam Review course was the greatest. Your writing critiques were excellent and the materials were succinct and to the point. Plus, I saved all the money my friends spent on Bar-Bri and PMBR. I would highly recommend your course. Once again, thanks for all your help and God bless you!

"As a practicing patent attorney already licensed in Texas, I found Celebration Bar Exam Review's materials-only option  a very efficient tool in preparing for the Georgia Attorney's Examination. The tapes were well-organized and the books presented the necessary information without an excess of material to wade through. Many thanks."
Mitch Harris, Passed July 2002

"Celebration Bar Exam Review is the most comprehensive bar review on the market. Its easy-to-read outlines, preparatory guides and individual mentoring enables you to gauge your individual progress and trains you for success. Most importantly, because Celebration creates a study program according to
each individual's needs, you cannot fail!  This was the best money I have ever spent."
Kurt Hilbert, PASSED Feb 2002

"With the help of Celebration Bar Exam Review, I passed both the Florida and Georgia Bar Exams in less than 7 months time.  This is truly an outstanding course for the practicing lawyer - I worked full time while studying for each test, and I never felt overwhelmed or rushed. I highly recommend this course, especially if you have a busy life at work and home.  Thanks Jackson!"

Bradley Cline PASSED Feb 2002

"I truly appreciate your organization and the professional materials provided. Eleven years ago I graduated law school and have not looked back. Actually, I felt it was my duty to forget most of the detail I was taught. Your course provided every bit of information I needed to pass in one sitting. My whole family thanks you!!! Have a great Thanksgiving - I know I will not having to think about a retest!"

Steve Suarino, PASSED July 2001

" I passed the GA bar exam (attorney's exam).  I'm glad your program was out there - it certainly worked for me.  I was as nervous going on line tonight as I was 11 years ago opening up the envelope from the Maine bar examiners.  Its a great feeling and I couldn't have done it without your excellent materials and your encouragement.  Thanks." 

Scott Winne, PASSED July 2001

"I just wanted to let you know that I passed the Feb. GA Bar Exam. The review course that you provide is excellent! The practice exams were quite beneficial. It really helped adjusting to the time limitations, especially since I have been out of law school and practicing for 20+ years. Thanks again."

Joe Grunda PASSED Feb 2001

"I just got the word that I passed the Georgia Bar. Thank you for your assistance and your instruction. Particularly having been out of law school for 20 years and having taken my last Bar exam 15 years ago, I found your approach and instructional methods a perfect fit for my bar preparation. I would highly recommend your program to anyone similarly situated to me and wholeheartedly would endorse your program."

Joe Rosen PASSED Feb 2001

"I passed the Georgia Bar! Thank you for your help and advice. ...Your course gave me the structure and direction I needed to be successful. Now I can look forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas without studying."

J. Zubler

I passed the July Georgia bar because your course was so effective. You made it easy to use...the essay practice was effective. I could just follow your directions and didn't have to waste energy on worrying what I should do."

F.S. McManus

Thank you for all your help and advice. I do not think I would have
passed without your help. I've already recommended your course to my friends.

Nina Martin, July 2000 Student

I felt great about my essays. I wrote just like you told me to. I did 
a mini outline and my answer was VERY organized and neat. Because of the 
outline, I knew that I addressed every issue that needed to be addressed.

I would, and have, recommend this course for other students. I felt that I 
was more prepared than others because my writing had been critiqued on 
several assignments, I had 24/7 access to a mentor and I was able to study 
at my own pace.


Dinisa Hardley, July 2000 Student

I passed the Georgia bar exam this past February after taking your review course.  The pass rate from the February test was a 16 year low.  Many people who sat for the test remarked during breaks that their review materials had not covered some of the materials on the test, which was understandable, given that some of the questions seemed to test relatively obscure areas of the law (e.g., grandparent custody rights).  I was pleased that your outlines covered even the more obscure topics in enough detail to write on, without so much detail that the materials were burdensome.
         More importantly, I found your essay tips to be extremely helpful in areas where I did not retain as much information as I had hoped.  I would highly recommend your course and the techniques embodied in it to anyone taking the bar exam.

G.S., Feb. 2000 Student 

This is just to let you know that I passed the July 99 Georgia bar exam. Thanks for all of your help.

K. Landry

You earned your money. I received a passing score on the July 99 Georgia exam. Thanks for all the feedback.

J. Jurich

As someone who used BarBri on several occasions to pass the Bar in several
states, I can state with complete confidence Celebration Bar Exam Review beats
them hands down. The personalized contact, the individualized mentoring,
and the quality of both the lectures and the essay review are top notch, and
heads-above the competition. I challenge anyone to find a better program for any amount of money anywhere.

J. Ashford


 Passed! Thanks for your user-friendly and effective curriculum.

S. McManus

Thank you for your assistance in helping me prepare for and pass the above referenced exam. I was unfamiliar with bar review courses since I had been out of law school for 21 years. I did a search on the Web and your site was prominent.

I liked the look of the Web page. I liked your response when I called for a brochure and I liked that you were an owner of the company and subsequently became my mentor. I liked the look of the promotional literature that was sent to me. I enlisted.

The box of written outlines and audiocassette lectures overwhelmed me. Then I saw the personal study outline that recommended spending 10 to 12 hours a week on the materials! Where was I going to get that kind of time?

For over 2 months if anyone saw me in my car or during my "leisure" time, I had a head set on to listen to lectures. I did outline reviews and essay writing in the evening. The key was investing the time on a regular basis. At some point it became "fun" to engage in those exercises rather than it being a chore.

The support I received from the Bar Review far exceeded a delivery of materials. The program apparently uses the most advanced learning techniques, combining a personal study guide to manage the outlines and tapes, as well as providing a personal mentor. The use of a mentor or "coach" was invaluable, not just as a third party to monitor my progress, but as an aid to learning strategies, test taking strategies, and essay writing.

The use of E-mail enhanced the experience tremendously by facilitating the flow of information between mentor and student(s). If any of your students do not use E-mail, they should start doing so for this experience alone. The weekly, then daily support tips helped me gain perspective.

Some particularly insightful quotes, as well as other tips and the test anxiety workshop tape, helped me to focus on the appropriate learning processes, the testing process, and the difference between remembering knowledge and applying it during a test situation. All things considered, I feel your Bar Review had a holistic approach to bar exam preparation. I give it my highest recommendation!

Very truly yours, 

S. R. Jacob

Despite the lowest passage rate in eight years (59.8%), 1 am happy to report that I passed the Georgia bar exam! The study program you specifically developed for me was right on target! I credit the personal attention and quality materials I received from the Bar Review as the key to my success on an exam that is currently in state of flux and which has become more difficult over the last few years.

My mentor at the Bar Review taught me how to handle essay questions that no one in their right mind would have ever expected on the Georgia Bar exam. This came in handy on the February exam when I was confronted with a mind boggling real property question that no amount of studying would have prepared me for. Instead of panicking, I kept my cool and utilized what I had learned throughout the course.

Your keen insights on what the bar examiner's were looking for in essays and a well organized study approach were most beneficial to me. As a student of yours, I quickly learned that rote memorization, practicing thousands of old MBE questions and reading past model essay questions were by no means the best way to maximize the time I had to study for this exam, While many recent law school graduates decide to follow the pack and take a traditional bar review course, I would urge all test takers to seriously consider the benefits of the your Bar Review Program at a time when this exam has become both unpredictable and more difficult to pass.

T. Grow

Wanted to let you know I passed the February Georgia Bar, although I noticed they don't release the scores.

Evidently, that Property question from Mars wasn't enough to keep me out. Thanks for all the competent help and advice... You more than earned the tuition!

G. Riley

Thanks.

I just wanted to say thank you for the daily messages you provided before the bar exam.

Having taken two previous bar exams, I did not utilize your essay critiques as you intended them. Nevertheless, I seemed to have made it through satisfactorily.

Your materials were excellent, as was your responsiveness to my questions. I also liked your individualized study guide. I found it very reasonable, even while working full time. I would recommend your program to others without hesitation. Thank you again.
