(This is Themis. In Greek mythology and religion, Themis is the goddess and personification of justice, divine order, law, and custom. She is one of the twelve Titan children of Gaia and Uranus, and the second wife of Zeus.)


Let's Get Stuck In


I've read the first page on Civil Procedure today and I am exhausted. We are in for a journey - strap in.

I'm here to make your life a little easier with condensed notes and bullet points on what you need to know with study resources all in one place, rather than scouring the internet for help and knowledge.

After speaking with my tutors Carl G. Gillen, Esq., Directorโ€”New York, Mid Atlantic & International and Matthew Nash, Tutor at The University of Law, Solicitor Advocate and Attorney-at-law in California, I have been able to create a New York Bar Exams 101 resource to access and simply the exam structure, exam dates, need to knows and study tips.
