Welcome to MYCelebration!

In 1995, my wife, Sara and I decided to take the plunge with a new business venture: a home study bar review course based on the then-popular SMH Bar Review course with which I had been affiliated for the last 3 years.  Following my graduation from Georgetown University Law Center and a successful passage of the bar exam using their materials, I had become a regional director and teacher for the live courses we then taught at SMH. With the founder's retirement, we acquired the core materials and decided to convert the course to audio cassette tapes, photocopied books and a lot of prayer that it would all work out.


And boy did it! 


Seventeen years later, we are the leader in personal homestudy bar review courses for the California, New York, Florida, Texas, Georgia, New Jersey and Multistate Bar Exams. We've prepared thousands of students during those years and innovated almost every major advancement in the bar review field: the FIRST bar review online, the FIRST to use iPods, the FIRST to use iPads, the FIRST to provide multiple levels of mentoring, the FIRST to offer free course videos via YouTube, the FIRST to provide full course apps for Apple, Nook, Android, the FIRST to integrate meditation, photo reading and much, much more.


One thing, however, has remained constant through all the technology and educational advancements and improvements: our commitment to students as individuals and to their success as people first and lawyers second. Oh, we've taken some heat for that. You can Google us and find some pretty awful, even downright nasty things that have been written (most of it anonymously), but you'll also find hundreds and hundreds of testimonials from people around the world who've benefited from our Christian approach to this high-stress, high-stakes exam. In fact, most of our business today comes via word-of-mouth as people tell others about their positive experiences with Celebration Bar Review. 
We don't know of any other course with greater customer loyalty than ours. In fact 100% of our 2011 students said they would recommend our course to others!


And that's why we called this blog "MYCelebration!" because ultimately, everyone who takes our course is hoping and planning to have MYCelebration when their results are released. If you're reading this blog, we assume that's your goal as well, so in this blog, we'll post our reactions to the current questions and concerns we hear on a regular basis about how to pass the bar exam. You'll find much of this same material on our YouTube page where we have posted over 75 free videos on a wide range of bar exam preparation subjects. We'd like to hear from you. What do you want to know about the bar? What rumors have you heard? What concerns you about the test? Let us know and we'll give you our thoughts through this forum. We hope you'll bookmark this site and check back often or subscribe so you'll know when new posts are made.
