The BarBri class action has come full-circle in California as Kaplan PMBR has announced today that it will begin offering full-service bar exam preparation in California. Along with several other states to be added, this rollout means that the Kaplan full-service bar exam preparation will be available to more than two-thirds of all bar exam takers.
Although the Kaplan PMBR full-service program will be available in California to meet the needs of February 2010 bar exam takers, I suspect most who are already on the BarBri program won't jump ship. So, it may take some time for the new full-service program to get some traction in California. Based on the Kaplan website, which is a bit quirky (in Firefox), it looks like the California program could cost anywhere between $2750 and $3,400 and the site lists 31 sessions between January 4 and February 16 for the February 2010 bar exam.
At the end of the day, another major player in the California full-service bar exam preparation game will be great for California law students in a number of ways.
How do you think the entry of Kaplan PMBR full-service bar preparation in California will play out?

Great information. I also think your readers will want to know about Themis Bar Review for California. Themis was developed by former BAR/BRI executives to better serve the needs of today's Bar Exam candidate. See recent press releases at the Themis Bar Review website.
Thanks Mary. Feel free to send details about Themis using the "Contact Seth" link in the right navigation of the blog. I'd be happy to take a look.
