Georgia one day attorney exam. Due to my work schedule I was not able to sit down and work through old practice exams. Instead, I listened to virtually every single one of the podcasts here. I will not know until October the outcome, but I do feel confident because I was not surprised by anything in the essays and I felt comfortable answering each question and I was not rushed. I owe it to what I learned on this podcast. Not just substantive law, but the approaches to taking the test, and the invaluable insight into how to maintain my mental health going through this process. I cannot think this podcast enough.

Really appreciative of yall for putting together such a comprehensive and easily digestible, free resource. I’ve listened to like a hundred of these episodes while driving or walking around my neighborhood to study while I do things. Really can’t thank yall enough.
BASSHEADDD · Jul 2025
I appreciate how the listen and learn episodes go reasonably in depth on a certain topic then give several examples.
Great for passive studying, like listening running errands, working out, or driving

I have been trying to love this podcast for years, from before I started law school to now studying for the Bar. Women owned, women made, a great concept…But for my ADHD brain? It’s too boring! The speaker is SO monotone I may as well listen to a class lecture. There’s nothing clever or funny to make the information stick, no conversation, barely a change in intonation, it actually puts me to sleep.
