Student Testimonials
I work with you one-on-one and customize the program to fit your strengths and weaknesses — and your schedule! I challenge you to do your best thinking and help you master the mysteries of the Multistate. The private tutoring sessions take the form of a stimulating dialogue — together we solidify your understanding of the material and increase your test-taking skills and confidence. No sleep-inducing lectures, no sardine-packed classes, no VCR.

First off, call me now, regardless of how distant the bar exam seems. Together we’ll devise the best strategy for achieving your goals. After a short conversation, you’ll feel a lot better about the next several months of your life — you’ll discover that studying for the bar exam doesn’t have to suck! (You can take that trip to Florida after all. You can even remain on the soccer team, and continue your bagpipe lessons.) I help my students get better results by studying less.
Our sessions will begin about 3 months prior to the exam. This will allow us to cycle through all of the Multistate subjects several times. Initially, we’ll emphasize a broad understanding of each subject. With each successive pass, we’ll pay increasing attention to detail. At the end of our work, you’ll see the underlying logic of each Multistate subject, how each piece fits into the whole — rather than just being able to regurgitate thousands of disconnected bits of legal minutiae. In short, you’ll be a bonafide smarty-pants.

(Voicemail message) “Unbelievable! I passed the bar exam! You’re my very best friend! Thank you for saving my life! This was the best experience ever!”
Amy Chayet-Shapiro, Esq.
“Rich Klarman is no mere whiz kid — he is a man of heart and compassion, who just happens to have an encyclopedic knowledge of torts, contracts, evidence, criminal law, property, and constitutional law. Thank you for helping to change the view I have of myself. I am no longer Mimi-the-poor-test-taker, but am now, and forever will be, Mimi-MULTISTATED-Kalish!”
Mimi Kalish, Esq.

(Voicemail message) “I passed! I feel absolutely fantastic that I don’t have to endure the Kentucky Bar Exam yet again! I really appreciate all your help, and I don’t think I could have done it by myself. I really don’t. Even after Bar/Bri and PMBR, I still didn’t know what material was important and how to prepare for the exam. I will always be thankful to you for enlightening me.”
Judy Horn Ross, Esq.
Note: Judy drove from Louisville, Kentucky to Ann Arbor (350 miles each way) for our twice-weekly tutoring sessions.
“Working with Rich can only be described as a ‘cerebral boot camp.’ He took me seriously and forced me to refine my knowledge of law into a set of tools for passing the bar exam. The confidence I gained put me at ease and allowed me to regard the bar exam as a hill to be taken, not as a daunting mountain.”
Tim Donovan, Esq.

“I passed! I got lots of 9s and 10s on the Multistate-subject essays, and I am positive that these were due to your killer tutoring. Without your program’s structure, continuity, and emphasis on understanding the ‘big picture,’ my results wouldn’t have been nearly as good. I can’t begin to tell you how many times, during the two-day exam, I drew upon conversations we’d had in the preceding weeks — it was AWESOME!!!”
Tish Murphy, Esq.

“When I discovered that I had failed the bar exam a second time, I was heartbroken. I had taken PMBR and had reviewed 3,000 Multistate questions, but my MBE score was still only 120. Then I called Rich. Within a few weeks of working with him, I became comfortable with the MBE material, and my confidence began to soar. Subjects that were previously difficult no longer posed problems. On the morning of the Multistate, I was calm and prepared to do battle because of Rich.”
Michele Allen, Esq.

“Dear Rich, There are few brilliant minds — and of those most can’t teach. I think you are the exception.”
Lisa Johnson, Esq.
“I had heard all the negative statistics about the bar pass rate for minority first-time takers. Despite this, your test-taking techniques and positive mental attitude helped me to think like a lawyer and gave me the confidence I needed to pass the exam with flying colors! Keep up the good work.”
Cheryl Blanton-DeBold, Esq.
