Hey there, in this episode I’m diving into how you can instantly boost your bar exam essays and performance tests with what I like to call Big Esquire Energy (BEE). If you’re tired of feeling like a scared student during bar prep, it’s time to start showing up as the anointed attorney you’re called to be.  

 

Here’s what we’ll cover today:  

 

- Learn how to shift your mindset and step into faith over fear using inspiration from 2 Timothy 1:7. It’s time to show up during bar prep—and on exam day—with confidence and capability.  

 

- The Blessed and Barred 3-Step Bar Exam Writing Framework:  

I’ll introduce you to the framework that’s helped so many of my students conquer the written portions of the bar exam. This includes:  

  1. On Point Organization: The foundation for organizing your mind, thoughts, and answers so you can create a clear, effective response.  
  2. Amped Up Analysis: Where you show your legal reasoning, argumentation, and logic—this is where the points are!  
  3. Exquisite Editing: How to ensure your final product meets a high-quality standard and leaves a lasting impression.  

- We’ll talk about why students often avoid practicing essays and performance tests and how avoiding them impacts your success. I’ll also share tips on how to embrace the process and refine your skills.

 

 - I’ll share insights from over 10 years of teaching legal writing—from working with JD and LLM students at GW Law to training law clerks and attorneys in judicial opinion writing.  

 

If you’re ready to take your bar exam writing to the next level and show up with Big Esquire Energy, listen in for actionable tips, mindset shifts, and practical advice!
