Completing the Partnership – BARBRI Bar Review
Every learner is different. BARBRI Bar Prep meets your students where they are.
Need H2 Headline
Whether you have students taking the Legacy UBE exam, the NextGen exam, or both, our newly established and effective course pedagogy makes it easier for you to support students taking the exam across different jurisdictions.
Both our Legacy and NextGen bar review courses are intentionally designed for adult online learners, leveraging research-based learning design, the latest advancements in educational technology, and adaptive learning to provide students with an unparalleled, dynamic learning experience to deliver strong outcomes.
New Scaffolded Pedagogy and Instructional Videos
The scaffolded approach to our courses incorporates a spiral instructional design that helps learners build knowledge and skills and gain confidence. Students approach their bar prep in three phrases with practice questions throughout.
Foundations Episodes Present Key Concepts in Each Subject
Leveraging the learning power of story-driven instructions, students are introduced to core legal concepts with our Foundations Episodes. These are animated explainer videos that teach foundational concepts through the power of stories with a recurring cast of characters in realistic legal scenarios.
Deep Dive Lectures and Practice Materials Build on that Foundation
After building this foundation, students take a deep dive into short lectures, presented by BARBRI’s popular and effective faculty lecturers. Infused with a scenario-based learning approach, these lectures, along with the practice sets and questions layered throughout, mirror the style, scope, and format of each exam.
Final Review Focuses on Most Important Material
Legacy UBE — Students then move on to the final review focused on recapping the most important and highly tested concepts.
NextGen UBE — Students then move into a final review focused on recapping the topics starred by the NCBE for memorization.
Additional practice question sets and essays are assigned in both courses to continue building competence and confidence.
New Text Resources
Redesigned text resources aid course navigation, drive engagement, and reinforce learning – all enabling better outcomes.

BARBRI’s NextGen UBE Course
While we’ve intentionally aligned our NextGen course with the established and effective pedagogy of our Legacy UBE course, we have designed the NextGen course to fully align to the NextGen content scope. We have:
- Restructured written materials to consistently indicate depth of knowledge required
- Developed all new NextGen assessment questions, including NCBE released NextGen question sets
- Created unique skills instruction modules that use a scenario-based learning approach designed to align with how students will answer questions on the NextGen exam.
New Immersive + Interactive Skills Scenarios to Master NextGen Question Sets
New skills instruction and assessment pedagogy designed for online adult learners leverages the power of contextual learning through scenarios – placing instruction and practice directly in the context of the NextGen exam.
Students are first introduced to the tested skills needed in short, instructional videos presented by engaging faculty experts. Students then apply what they learned in three phases.
Immersive Client Scenarios
We bring the legal scenario to life by placing the student in the role of an associate working through an assignment at a fictious law firm, where they will learn and practice the foundation skills tested on the NextGen bar exam. These include issue spotting and analysis, investigation and evaluation, client counseling and advising, client relationship and management, dispute resolution, and legal research, writing and drafting.
Interactive Question Sets
Students then work through our unique integrated question sets that reinforce substantive knowledge and skills with unfolding problems, matching how they’ll be tested on exam day.
Expert Instruction
Students remain immersed in the scenario through detailed feedback from a law partner.
This context-based learning approach immerses the learner in real-world legal scenarios, backed by adult learning theory as a way to help adult students master complex topics, learn how to apply the assessed skills, and further develop their critical reasoning skills for the NextGen exam.
Primer Videos for Family Law, Trusts + Estates, and Professional Responsibility
Although Family Law and Trusts & Estates will not be directly tested on the NextGen Exam, concepts in these subjects will appear in Performance Tasks and may be included in Integrated Sets. Specific Professional Responsibility rules, while not considered a Core Concept, will appear in Integrated Sets.
The animated narrative storytelling in the Primer Videos gives students the framework needed to tackle exam questions in these subjects efficiently.
