My name is Braxton Roam. During the day, I work as Of Counsel at a big law firm in Washington, DC where my practice focuses on energy project finance and tax equity. At night, I have worked with colleagues to build the National Bar Course making bar exam material more accessible, practical, and achievable without the $3,000 price tag. Passing the bar shouldn’t depend on how much you can afford. It should depend on how well you are prepared.

With experience practicing law at two Am Law 50 firms and being admitted to the bar in multiple states, I have had the pleasure of using the big box bar prep companies to learn what works and what does not. National Bar Course targets the essentials needed to pass the bar exam without spending thousands of dollars for pre-recorded, outdated lecture videos and fill-in-the-blank worksheets. We include live lecture classes, workshops, and a weekend bootcamp to prepare you for the bar exam.

The National Bar Course is for recent graduates and repeat test takers who want a smarter, more efficient path to passing the bar exam. Whether you’re working full-time, balancing other responsibilities, or simply don’t want to spend thousands on a big box bar prep program, NBC is designed to meet you where you are and help you pass the bar.

We focus on what actually gets tested and break down legal concepts into rapid rules you can apply on exam day. Successful candidates generally need five things to pass the bar exam: 1) a structured study schedule, 2) a multiple choice question simulator, 3) review numerous past essay exams, 4) ditch passive learning and actively apply the rules, and 5) good old persistence.

Our team at National Bar Course is here to help you study for the bar exam with efficiency and persistence. We focus on the most tested areas of law so you can still work and enjoy life without wasting hours on topics like the Rule Against Perpetuities, which is very rarely tested.

You shouldn't have to spend $3,000 for a bar exam prep course. NBC Membership includes access to 30+ live lecture classes covering major bar exam subjects including: business associations (agency, partnerships, corporations, and LLCs), contracts and sales, criminal law and procedure, evidence, civil procedure, constitutional law, real property, torts, and workshops for bar exam essay writing, professional responsibility, and the performance test.
