Why I Created Bar Bestie

When I started law school, I quickly realized that I could not learn effectively by reading complicated explanations filled with even more complicated legal language. If I was going to understand a concept, I needed it explained in the simplest, most straightforward way possible.

I needed clear rule statements. I needed normal language. I needed examples that showed me how each rule actually worked. Most importantly, I needed everything organized in a way that made sense when it was time to study for finals.

So, I started creating my own outlines.

Throughout law school, I took the material from my classes, casebooks, notes, and other course resources and broke it down into something I could actually understand. Whenever a rule felt unnecessarily confusing, I rewrote it in plain English. Whenever a concept felt too abstract, I added an example. Whenever the material felt scattered, I reorganized it into a structure that was easier to follow and remember.

These were not outlines I threw together right before an exam. They were the personal study materials I created, refined, and used throughout law school to earn A’s in my courses. They helped me turn hundreds of pages of cases and notes into clear, manageable information that I could actually recall and apply on an exam.

After law school, I realized that so many students learn the same way I do. They do not need another resource that makes the law sound more complicated. They need someone to explain it like a best friend would: clearly, directly, and without assuming they already understand every legal term.

That is why I created Bar Bestie.

Bar Bestie offers easy-to-follow outlines for core law school classes, bar-tested subjects, and electives. Each outline is designed to help simplify difficult concepts, organize the rules, and make studying feel less overwhelming. They can be used for final exam preparation, refreshing your memory, or reviewing subjects for the bar exam.

Law school is already hard enough. Your study materials should make it easier—not leave you even more confused.
