Steven,

Your WINNIN’ TIME! book was extremely helpful for me on the essay portion of the exam. The Evidence Boilerplate was a lifesaver! I had practiced it so many times that when Evidence showed up on exam day, I was oddly excited to see it, felt very confident, and was even able to finish the 20+ issues in one hour. Furthermore, the “requires/because” format your book suggests for writing rules and introducing arguments helped me save so much time on essays by cutting out the unnecessary junk and spending more time on the important analysis.

Thank you so much again!! — Sara Huffman, Esq., passed the July 2014 California Bar Examination

I do not think I could have passed the California Bar Examination on the first time without Steven’s help. With me, Steven was patient, caring and he knew his material very well. His great amount of experience working with all types of individuals with different backgrounds helped him tailor a program to meet my specific needs (including the fact that I was out of town (drastically different time zones) for the first 2-3 weeks of the bar prep period, working for a few hours per day, meeting at a quieter cafe, and my autism). Steven’s individualized calendar was particularly valuable.

He is a dedicated teacher who does this service because he has a genuine passion for helping individuals pass the bar test. What is particularly amazing about Steven is that in the case of my autism, he told me that in his 20 years of tutoring experience as a bar prep tutor it was the first time he had ever tutored someone with my particular difference. Yet despite this, he still did so masterfully. Me passing the bar on the first try should be a testament to that. I would highly recommend Steven’s services over the one-size-fits-all approach that many other bar prep services might use. — UC Law School Grad (May 2019), Esq., passed the July 2019 California Bar Examination

Greetings Mr Harris,

I am ecstatic to report passing results on the Feb 2017 CA Bar Exam. Thank you for your dedication to this program and calling. I risked a lifetime of struggle to reach my military career goals by retaking the CA exam – and I could not be more grateful you made the time to include me as a student and prepare me.

If you have a PO Box I’d very much like to send you a thank you card.

Best to you and your family.

LT. R.

And the thank you note:

Mr. Harris,

Please extend my gratitude to your family. Choosing not to take an easier Bar to secure my commission was the hardest decision I’ve had to make. But we – Military – do not take the easy way out. I am grateful for the confidence that came from having you in my corner. You are making a difference.

Ductus Exemplo,

I passed on the first try and I can’t thank Steven enough for the advice and tutoring (via the audio lectures) on the PT. Even though I only found out about Steven’s PT course 14 days before the exam, I was able to listen to the lectures, squeeze in the practice PTs, and implement his memorization strategy, all at the last minute. It gave me a streamlined approach that helped me learn how to focus on what counts and not get bogged down on the stuff that doesn’t matter. It saved me time, and I went from struggling to finish PT’s to having enough time to at least hit every major issue. I know it really made a difference. — Sam Crary, Esq., passed the California Bar Examination

As a Hastings student who was never anywhere near the top (let alone middle) of my class, I knew that I wanted extra support studying for the bar exam. I was exposed to WINNIN’ TIME! and Professor Harris’ method through a Critical Studies course, and ultimately they were my keys to passing the bar exam on my first attempt. My bar prep course’s materials alone would not have carried me across the finish line, and Professor Harris’ program provided something concrete and simple for me to latch onto when I was feeling untethered. I was used to feeling helpless and lost throughout law school, but Professor Harris’ program made it so that I did not feel that way while studying for the bar. Professor Harris’ program provided the support and straightforward no frills instruction that I did not have in my law school classes. I felt as much peace of mind as one can feel while studying for the bar exam thanks to Professor Harris, and it was totally worth it. I saved myself from treading water by investing in and committing myself to Professor Harris’ program. It requires diligence, consistency, and trust in the materials, but if you allow yourself to believe you can pass and use the universe that Professor Harris boils the bar down to, you can do it. If I can do it, anyone can do it. – Hastings Alumna, Esq., passed the July 2019 California Bar Examination

Yes, folks, students can use WINNIN’ TIME! to pass bar exams using the UBE, such as Oregon!

Steve,

Thank you so much for your absolutely amazing WINNIN’ TIME! study tool! I fully believe this was the difference in my success (cookie cutter course videos and fill-in-the-blank outlines were not key to my passing!).

Most appreciatively,

Kim Sherman, Esq. (passed the July 2017 Oregon Bar Examination)

Hi Steve, I would just like to let you know that I have found out earlier that I have passed the February 2014 California Bar Exam. This is indeed one of the happiest days of my life. I partly owe my success to your very valuable PT course that I had taken in preparation for the last bar exam. I felt that every one of your PT classes have been tailored to boost applicants’ performance and to give all the necessary tips as to how they could save time and to be ahead 1/2 hr to 45 minutes in reading in order to sort through Library and File, how to organize and outline. Next you give your individual students undivided review and valuable critics of their practice PT test. That to me was highly important to build my confidence and to show me that I am on the right track or not. On the first day of the exam, and at the end of the first PT-A test I knew that I have followed your approach point by point and that I had passed the 1st PT test. I had the same experience on the third day of exam upon completing the PT-B test!

Additionally, you had gone above and beyond to give valuable tips on how to prepare for the essay tests by recommending using your Essay Review Week, sharing your Memory Work lecture, and pointers on how to avoid pitfalls. Your approach to me has proven that you truly care about your students’ success on the bar exam by giving them not only the PT test tutorial but also to provide additional valuable information about essay topics, memorization tools and issue spotting approach, yet not to leave out the Evidence and PR Boilerplates. I followed your advice verbatim.

I have also found your both books The Trigger List and WINNIN’ TIME! highly valuable. The Trigger List helps applicants on issue spotting techniques while WINNIN’ TIME! has almost everything a bar taker needs to see the necessary structure for how to write an evidence essay versus civil pro on personal jurisdiction or subject matter jurisdiction or how to structure a product liability question in tort essay situation and more. WINNIN’ TIME! has so much more than just bunch of rules and exceptions. When I was going through the book, it was as though I had a personal tutor showing me not only the well-structured rules but also how they are applied in writing an effective essay or how to spot issues and structure those in either torts, contract, civil pro or evidence essay exam situation and etc. I therefore highly recommend your both tutorial and PT courses to any future bar exam applicants, be it first timers or repeaters.

In conclusion, I am very thankful to you for your valuable PT course, great tips and helpful information that had indeed help me to pass the bar exam. – Michael Panah, Esq., passed the February 2014 California Bar Examination

Steven, I’m ecstatic to inform you that I passed the 2017 July Cal. State Bar!!!! Thank you so much for all your help and support. Your WINNIN’ TIME! & The Trigger List books, online PT classes and study plans were exactly what I needed to pass. All your material provided me with a solid plan of attack.

I also want to thank you for being a friend. Unfortunate and devastating events occurred a few weeks before the bar. You helped me re-focus and told me to keep my eyes on the prize. Thank you again. I will definitely recommend your services / program to bar exam takers.

Best,

Angie Sandoval

P.S. Thank you again. I can’t emphasize how much you helped. I was about ready to curl up in a ball for a few weeks. You really did help me snap out of it. — Angie Sandoval, Esq., passed the July 2017 California Bar Examination

Steven Harris was the all-around best! I had been told by many instructors that there were no effective techniques to approaching the PT – Steven proved them wrong! When it came to the essays, Steven’s WINNIN’ TIME! and The Trigger List left me with a true confidence that I could identify and respond to any issue thrown my way. Steven even helped me identify common patterns in the MBE questions! In the end, I would not have passed without Steven’s study plan, support, and overall positive attitude! — Mathew Jackson, Esq., passed the July 2014 California Bar Examination

Hi Steven!

I’m getting home late and have work early in the morning but I want you to know that my name is on the pass list. I really want to thank you for all the help you gave me; it got me through one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I will recommend your program to whoever is looking for bar tutoring. I really did learn valuable approaches from you and it made the difference for me.

All the best,

Ryan Davis, Esq., passed the February 2016 California Bar Examination
