Passing the Florida Bar Exam When English is Your Second Language

I have been receiving e-mails from applicants who are having trouble with the bar exam because English is their second language. Also, I have had a multitude of people from foreign cities read this blog.

How should a person prepare for the Florida bar exam when English is their second language.

1. First, and for most, obtain a private tutor to evaluate your essays. Working with a tutor will dramatically improve your chances of passing.

2. Write, write and write some more. An applicant needs to learn to write on the Florida bar subjects to both understand the law and to develop a writing structure.

3. Memorize the law “cold” because you have a built in language barrier. You do not have the time to think about the law, you must know it.

Implementing the above will help you be successful on the Florida Bar.
