You knew it was bound to happen and now it has.\u00a0 For those of you getting ready to watch bar review videos and sit in the library for hours with those heavy books—well, now you have options.\u00a0 You can study for the bar while on the go using a new app for the iPhone\/iPod Touch developed by BarMax<\/a>, a company started by a former law student.\u00a0 The company launched an app for the California bar exam<\/a> last year and a New York version<\/a> in April 2010, with plans to add more states.\u00a0 The BarMax app doesn\u2019t come cheap—it costs $1,000, reputedly the most expensive app out there—but it has an entire review course of audio tapes, lectures, outlines, checklists, and questions from prior bar exams.\u00a0 And BarMax offers its MPRE edition<\/a> to everyone for free.\u00a0 If you don’t have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you can rent one from BarMax.\u00a0 Purchase of the app gets you lifetime access—all of this, and you can study while jogging.\u00a0 The ABA Journal’s review of the app is available here<\/a>.\u00a0 A review by a purported former law student who used BarMax to prep for the bar is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Already there is competition.\u00a0 If you aren’t ready to trust a new company with your bar prep, BARBRI<\/a> introduced an app<\/a> last fall which is free for students enrolled in its classes (which cost considerably more than $1,000) and offers mobile access to lectures and other materials.\u00a0 Emanuel Bar Review also has developed a series of apps<\/a> to prepare you for the multistate exam that let you review and test yourself on evidence, property law, contracts, torts, criminal law, and constitutional law.\u00a0 These apps only cost $12.99 each and also make good study tools for 1L law school classes.\u00a0 Or you can study for the multistate exam on your home or laptop computer using MyBarPrep<\/a>, which costs $249.99.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
