We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
Today, a veteran team of bar review experts headed by former
BAR/BRI Group Chief Operating Officer Richard Duffy officially launches Themis
Bar Review, an online, lecture-based bar review course developed for
today’s learner. Named after the Greek goddess of justice, Themis offers
full-service bar exam preparation in California and Pennsylvania while
students from all jurisdictions can register for the Themis MBE Review.
"After over 30 years of experience at the forefront of traditional
bar exam preparation, and nearly a decade at the helm of the first
computer-based bar review course, I've learned what works, what doesn't
work, and why," said Rick Duffy, CEO and founder of Themis Bar Review.
“That knowledge, coupled with recent online advances, allowed us to
create a bar review course that is truly customized to the needs and
learning style of today’s bar exam candidate. The result is a fully
interactive bar review that addresses every hurdle a student will face
in the bar exam process, while offering the highest degree of
personalized support and a very reasonable price,” states Duffy.
Unlike other bar review courses that require students to adhere to
rigid schedules and travel to sometimes distant classroom locations,
Themis Bar Review allows students to access their course anytime,
anywhere. Learners log in to on-demand lectures, diagnostic quizzes,
comprehensive outlines, practice MBE and essay questions, and milestone
exams. Students are assigned a personal bar exam adviser, who provides
feedback on essays and supports them throughout their course of study.
The highly interactive course tracks the learner's individual progress,
offers a direct comparison to other students, and adjusts the daily
study schedule – even if the student takes a few days off.
The full bar review course is being offered at an exclusive
introductory rate of $1,395 for the July 2009 bar exam. Law students can
register online at no cost during the spring of 2009 to reserve the
introductory rate for the July bar exam. Further information about Themis
Bar Review can be accessed at www.themisbar.com.
