FROM CRUSHING DEFEAT TO 160+ ESSAY SCORE: How Zaniya Finally Passed the Bar Exam! (Ep. 026) Imagine doing everything right—the endless multiple-choice questions, the grueling essays, isolating yourself from friends—only to find out you didn't pass. Again. In this incredibly raw and inspiring episode of the Bar Study Motivation Podcast, San sits down with Rutgers Law Alum Zaniya Lewis to discuss her ultimate triumph over the bar exam after four attempts. If you are a repeat taker, a full-time worker juggling a heavy commute, or someone feeling defeated by standard bar prep courses, this interview is the exact blueprint and mindset shift you need to watch. Zaniya opens up about her lowest moments—including taking a half-day off work just to cry on her kitchen floor—and how she completely transformed her study habits to skyrocket her essay writing score by over 30 points (yielding a massive 158.6 / 160 score!). We dive deep into why standard "big box" bar preps like Themis failed her, why outlining essays is a trap, and how the "reps and drilling" method gave her the ultimate confidence to actually smile during the exam. WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE: The "Big Box" Bar Prep Trap: Why Zaniya switched from traditional courses after two failed attempts. The Power of Unlimited Grading: How getting her essays completely ripped apart by Bar Exam Drills led to a 30+ point score increase. Studying While Working Full-Time: Managing a grueling 4-hour daily train commute while getting 25–30 questions and an essay done every single day. Why Outlining is Harming Your Score: Why typing out full essays under time constraints is non-negotiable for success. Manifestation + Hard Work: Zaniya's secrets to keeping a positive mindset, incorporating life/family back into bar prep, and putting in the grueling "reps." The Walmart Celebration: The exact moment Zaniya found out she passed and her mom dropped to her knees in the middle of a store.

Kara Peterson and Richard DiBona, the husband-and-wife co-founding team behind Descrybe, discuss the legal research platform they built designed to "democratize access to the law." The discussion explores the unique dynamics of married cofounders and how they are leveraging Generative AI to disrupt a landscape long dominated by high-cost legacy providers. Richard, a software engineer, and Kara, a marketing expert, share their journey from a personal legal issue to building a platform that processes over 100 billion tokens of legal data. They explain why they chose to build an AI-native system from the ground up rather than simply layering a "wrapper" over existing models—a decision that allows them to offer professional-grade tools at a fraction of the traditional cost. In this episode, they discuss:

This conversation delves into the complex interplay between state law, specifically Article 9 of the UCC, and federal bankruptcy law. It highlights the significant impact of the automatic stay, the powers of the bankruptcy trustee, and the implications of preferences and fraudulent transfers on secured creditors. The discussion emphasizes the importance of timely perfection of security interests and the challenges creditors face in bankruptcy proceedings.Most secured creditors underestimate how quickly bankruptcy law can wipe out their hard-won protections. Even perfect security interests are at risk the moment a debtor files for Chapter 7—unless you know the critical timing and procedural rules that determine your fate. If you think filing a financing statement is enough, think again. This episode reveals how a simple oversight—like waiting too long to perfect, misnaming the debtor, or missing a 20-day PMSI window—can turn your collateral into a worthless unsecured claim. Understanding the collision of Article 9 and federal bankruptcy law isn't just academic; it's essential for anyone in credit, finance, or law who wants to protect their investment when the proverbial ships sink.This deep dive lifts the veil on the federal trustee's powerful avoidance tools—strengthening the case you can build as a secured creditor, or the pitfalls to avoid. We break down the exact steps a trustee takes to strip liens through strong arm powers and preferences, showing how even diligent creditors can stumble over seemingly minor technicalities that lead to devastating loss of security. You'll discover the importance of rapid perfection, the pitfalls of late filings, and how the timeline of a loan—especially with purchase money security interests—can mean the difference between full recovery and standing in line with other unsecured creditors.Key insights include the crucial interplay of attachment and perfection, the 20-day grace period for PMSIs, and how the automatic stay can freeze—or annihilate—your collection rights. We dissect the elements of preferences, revealing how payments for old debts and complex valuation tests can turn a seemingly airtight lien into a legacy unsecured claim. Plus, learn how the trustee's avoidance powers with Sections 544, 547, and 548 can retroactively demolish rights you thought were ironclad, especially with sloppy paperwork, tiptoed filings, or overlooked timing windows.Why does all this Matter? Because in bankruptcy, the costs of procedural mistakes are paid in pennies or nothing, and the power balance shifts dramatically—transforming secured claims into unsecured debts that share in the ashes of liquidation. For lenders and attorneys alike, mastering this terrain is vital: a missed deadline or an incorrect name on a financing statement can wipe out millions in collateral, leaving you with nothing but a paper claim.This episode is perfect for credit professionals, lawyers, and students who want a clear, practical roadmap to protect their interests and anticipate the trustee's every move. We furnish the step-by-step framework to analyze any case—attachment, perfection, priority, stay, avoidance, and distribution—arming you against common traps and controversial doctrines. Whether you're working on a real-world deal or exam question, this distilled masterclass will ensure your fortress remains standing amid the legal collision of state and federal law.bankruptcy, Article 9, automatic stay, trustee powers, preferences, fraudulent transfers, secured creditors, UCC, legal framework, creditor rights

Ace the February 2026 California Bar Exam with our detailed wildcard essay predictions based on comprehensive historical analysis. In this episode of the Bar Exam Drills Podcast, we dive deep into the four key subjects that haven't appeared recently and are prime candidates for testing: Real Property, Civil Procedure, Criminal Law, and Wills. Using data-driven analysis of past exams dating back nearly a decade, we break down exactly which topics within each subject are most likely to appear based on testing patterns and frequency gaps. For Real Property, we predict joint tenancy and duty to deliver issues while ruling out easements that have been heavily tested. For Civil Procedure, we identify California-specific service of process and joinder questions as high-probability topics. In Criminal Law, we anticipate a conspiracy and kidnapping essay with crossover into Criminal Procedure. For Wills, we predict a pure Wills essay focusing on extrinsic evidence, anti-lapse, and undue influence, pointing you to specific past exams for targeted practice. Unlike generic study advice, this video provides specific exam dates to review, exact topics to focus on, and strategic reasoning for why certain subjects are more likely to appear. Whether you're a first-time taker or repeating the exam, these predictions based on historical testing patterns and strategic analysis can help you prioritize your study time effectively in the final weeks before exam day. Download the Bar Exam Drills app to access all past California essay questions organized by subject and administration date for targeted practice on the topics we predict. Good luck with your studying, and leave a comment below if you want specific predictions on other subjects or have questions about any of these wildcard topics.

Get ready to strategically prepare for the February 2026 Uniform Bar Exam with Episode 032 of the Bar Exam Drills Podcast. This detailed wild card predictions video breaks down the four MEE subjects most likely to surprise you on exam day: Criminal Procedure, Torts, Partnerships, and Criminal Law. I analyze historical testing patterns going back years to identify exactly which essays you should prioritize studying. In this episode, I walk through Criminal Procedure patterns from July 2025's school search question back to 2019, highlighting specific topics like Terry frisks, Miranda invocation, vehicle stops, and plainview doctrine that are ripe for testing. For Torts, we examine the shift from recent negligence questions to potential child tortfeasor scenarios and abnormally dangerous activities that haven't appeared in nearly a decade. The Partnerships analysis reveals withdrawal issues, winding down procedures, and partnership agreements as critical topics based on testing gaps since 2018. Criminal Law gets special attention as our final wild card subject, where I predict crimes against persons over property crimes, with insanity defenses like the McNaughton test standing out as high-probability topics given their historical frequency. I reference specific past exam administrations you should study including July 2021, February 2023, July 2019, and others with detailed breakdowns of what made those essays important. This isn't surface-level guessing—this is pattern recognition from someone who has been grading these essays for students and knows exactly how the NCBE cycles through subjects and sub-topics. Download the Bar Exam Drills iOS app to access all the historical essays I reference in this video, organized by jurisdiction and testing date so you can practice the exact topics most likely to appear. Whether you're a first-time taker or repeating the bar exam, these wild card predictions help you avoid wasting precious study time on low-probability subjects and instead focus your energy where it counts. I hope this is your last exam. Leave a comment if you want to discuss any of these predictions further, and I'll be sure to reply.

Get ready for the February 2026 Georgia Bar Exam with my wildcard essay predictions! In this episode, I'm focusing on two subjects that could surprise test-takers: Constitutional Law and Remedies. For Constitutional Law, I break down the testing patterns from recent Georgia bar exams and explain why I think Equal Protection Clause and Commerce Clause (including takings) are prime candidates. I walk through the historical testing dates and show you exactly which past questions to review in the Bar Exam Drills app, skipping the religion-focused questions from recent exams that are less likely to repeat. On the Remedies front, I'm predicting a crossover question with either Contracts or Property. I dive into specific performance, unique items (remember those special orange carrots from law school?), injunctive relief, and contract damages. Using the app, I trace through the pattern of remedies questions from 2016 through 2019 to show you why this makes sense as a wildcard topic. This isn't about predicting every possible essay—it's about identifying the topics that could catch you off guard. I'm calling these wildcards because the patterns and timing suggest they're due to appear. Study smart by focusing on these specific areas, and you'll be better prepared than most test-takers walking into that exam room. Download Bar Exam Drills to access all the past Georgia essay questions I reference in this video, organized by subject and date. Leave a comment below to discuss these predictions or share your own thoughts on what might appear. Good luck on your February 2026 Georgia Bar Exam!

The Bar Exam Drills Podcast is back with Episode 034, focusing on wildcard essay predictions for the February 2026 Florida Bar Exam. In this episode, we dive deep into juvenile law and criminal law topics that could appear on your upcoming exam, analyzing patterns from recent Florida Bar essays to help you study smarter, not harder. We start by examining juvenile law predictions, specifically looking at essays 719 and 216. The key focus areas include juvenile sentencing, trying juveniles as adults, and how these topics crossover with criminal law, Florida constitutional law, and evidence. While juvenile law hasn't been heavily tested recently, understanding the adult certification process and sentencing guidelines remains crucial for any wildcard scenario. The bulk of this episode breaks down criminal law and criminal procedure essay patterns from recent exams. We walk through essays 725, 724, 224, 223, 722, 222, and 721, identifying critical topics like murder defenses, accessory liability, search and seizure, Miranda rights, right to counsel, double jeopardy, and suppression of evidence. You'll notice that pure criminal law essays are rare—most criminal essays include significant criminal procedure components, so you need to prepare for both. Special attention is given to topics that haven't appeared recently but are due for testing, including double jeopardy (essay 222) and the comprehensive burglary/murder/arson question (essay 722). We also highlight Florida-specific rules like the unique Florida conspiracy doctrine that you absolutely need to know. Whether you're using the Bar Exam Drills app or studying from outlines, this episode gives you actionable insights on where to focus your limited study time. Screenshot the essay numbers mentioned and review them in detail—these patterns could be the difference between passing and falling short. Good luck with your February 2026 Florida Bar Exam preparation. Drop any questions in the comments and we'll make sure to answer them.

Get ready to ace the February 2026 Uniform Bar Exam with this episode of the Bar Exam Drills Podcast. In this detailed MEE essay predictions video, I break down my analysis of the most likely subjects to appear on the February 2026 bar exam and specific topics within each subject based on historical testing patterns from the NCBE. I walk through my preliminary predictions including Civil Procedure, Evidence, Secured Transactions, Real Property, and potential wild cards like Torts, Partnerships, and Criminal Law. Using detailed analysis of past UBE exams from February 2025, July 2024, July 2023, and going back several years, I identify specific high-probability topics for each subject. For Civil Procedure, watch out for preclusion issues, Erie doctrine, and pleading requirements. Evidence predictions focus on hearsay and expert witness testimony. Secured Transactions will likely test perfection and after-acquired title, while Real Property predictions include life tenancy, wrap mortgages, and recording statutes. I also discuss Wills and Trusts topics like revocation, intestacy, and lapse rules, plus Family Law predictions centering on custody issues involving non-parents like grandparents. The video includes visual screenshots of my spreadsheet analysis tracking MEE subject frequency across multiple exam cycles to help you focus your study time efficiently. Whether you're a repeat taker or first-time bar exam candidate, these predictions can help you prioritize the most frequently tested topics and feel more confident walking into the exam. If you want more detailed predictions on the wild card subjects sooner, drop a comment and thumbs up on this video.

This is the strategic preparation that makes the difference between passing and failing.

Get ready for the February 2026 California Bar Exam with detailed essay predictions based on historical testing patterns and recent exam analysis. In this episode of the Bar Exam Drills Podcast, I break down my comprehensive predictions for the most likely subjects and specific topics to appear on the upcoming exam so you can study strategically instead of guessing. In this detailed analysis, I walk through the core predicted subjects including Professional Responsibility, Community Property, Remedies, Contract Law, and Evidence. For each subject, I examine what appeared on recent exams from July 2025 back through previous testing cycles, identify patterns in how the California Bar Examiners rotate topics, and pinpoint the specific issues most likely to show up in February 2026. For Professional Responsibility, I predict a civil setting focusing on settlement offers, conflicts of interest, and fee splitting arrangements, possibly in a divorce context. Community Property analysis reveals a strong likelihood of quasi community property issues, the clawback rule, and potential crossover with Wills based on the July 2022 pattern. My Remedies prediction points toward a torts and nuisance scenario with injunctions, and I walk you through exactly which past questions to review including the public and private nuisance issues that keep recurring. The Evidence prediction suggests another California Evidence Code question in a civil setting covering subsequent remedial measures, character evidence, and the types of hearsay exceptions that appear when the bar examiners want to test foundational knowledge. For Contracts, I break down the UCC versus common law pattern and explain why I'm predicting a common law contracts question this cycle after back-to-back UCC testing. I also preview the wild card predictions coming in a separate video covering Real Property, Civil Procedure, Criminal Law, and Wills. Throughout the video, you can screenshot the specific topics I've identified so you have a targeted study list instead of trying to memorize everything. Whether you're a first-time taker or repeating the California Bar Exam, these predictions help you allocate your limited study time to the highest probability topics and walk into the exam with confidence.

Get ready for the February 2026 Georgia Bar Exam with detailed essay predictions from Bar Exam Drills. In this episode, we break down the most likely essay topics based on testing patterns since 2012, helping you focus your study time on what matters most. We predict a strong chance of seeing contracts and torts together as a crossover essay, similar to July 2024, along with ethics, evidence, and property law. For contracts, watch out for UCC questions including land contracts and confirmatory memos, plus tortious interference. Ethics will likely appear in a civil or corporate setting with account segregation issues. Evidence should be civil-based with potential criminal elements and multi-level hearsay including dying declarations. Property law predictions focus on tenancies and deeds with restrictive covenants rather than adverse possession which appeared recently in February 2024. This analysis examines every Georgia bar essay since July 2012 to identify patterns and gaps in testing frequency. Director Johns confirmed no more secured transactions will appear, which aligns with our historical analysis. We also discuss the strategic placement of difficult topics like evidence in question one as potential time traps that require strict time management to avoid cascading effects on remaining essays. Screenshots of specific predictions are provided throughout the video for easy reference during your study sessions. Stay tuned for our upcoming wild card predictions video covering remedies topics including rescission, fraud, and restitution.

Get ready for the February 2026 Florida Bar Exam with detailed essay predictions based on comprehensive historical analysis and testing patterns. In Episode 030 of the Bar Exam Drills Podcast, I break down exactly what subjects are most likely to appear on the upcoming exam so you can study strategically instead of wasting time on low-probability topics. This episode delivers both preliminary predictions and deep-dive detailed analysis of Contracts, Torts, Family Law, and Evidence. I walk through every tested essay question going back multiple exam cycles, showing you the specific issues that have appeared within each subject including UCC versus common law contracts, formation issues, breach and repudiation, tort crossovers with other subjects, child custody and support in family law, and the limited but important evidence testing patterns. You'll see exactly why I'm predicting what I'm predicting, including a transparent look at my previous predictions from the last cycle where I came very close on the subjects and why certain wild card mentions generated controversy. The detailed analysis covers question-by-question breakdowns from February 2025, July 2024, February 2024, July 2023, February 2023, July 2022, July 2021, and October 2020, giving you visibility into exactly which topics within each subject have been tested and which are due to appear again. You'll learn about crossover essays that combine subjects like contracts with real property, torts with constitutional law, and family law with trusts. I also flag specific high-value topics like defamation and privacy torts that haven't been tested recently, personal services contracts and 13th Amendment concerns, and the wide-open nature of Evidence as a predicted subject. Whether you're a first-time taker or repeat candidate preparing for Florida's February 2026 bar exam, these predictions will help you prioritize your limited study time and walk into the exam with confidence knowing you've prepared for the most likely scenarios.
