Who We Are

The Bar Secrets® TJSL California Bar Program offers a personal, cutting-edge approach to mastering law school and ultimately the bar exam. And because the school subsidizes it, it’s available to you at less than half the cost of the corporate conglomerates. With all the personal attention and individualized feedback you receive, you basically get double the service, at less than half the price.

Who We Are NOT

Bar Secrets® is not a large, corporate-backed bar prep course with high name recognition that offers a cookie-cutter approach to law school and the bar exam. “Cookie cutters” boost the bottom line (and they work well in baking), but they ignore the top priority — you, the individual student and bar candidate. Because Bar Secrets® is not paid per student, the program focuses on people — not profits.

The Bar Secrets® TJSL Program provides you with the tools you need to pass the bar exam. What’s even better is that federal rules allow TJSL to extend your student budget loan limit in your graduating semester to finance in-house programs like the Bar Secrets TJSL program. Federal rules do not, however, permit this extension to finance outside programs like BarBri or Kaplan PMBR.
