  • WINNIN' TIME!

Dear Professor Harris,

I hope you are well and enjoying the holiday season.

The approaching Thanksgiving reminds me of you. I want to express my gratitude for your outstanding teaching in the legal writing courses. Your excellent lessons contributed greatly to my success on the bar exam. The lawyer skills I gained from your teachings have helped me to handle legal matters as well as any daily life matters efficiently. I feel like I will use these skills

November 24, 2023

I passed the July 2023 California Bar Exam using Steven’s services and materials.  Specifically, I applied the mnemonics and essay-writing strategies contained in the WINNIN’ TIME! book exactly to the Torts, Crimes, and Remedies questions presented by the examiners.  When I saw the questions, the keystrokes felt like butter!  I wholeheartedly believe that this was a major factor in obtaining a passing score because up to the exam I seriously struggled with

To anyone doubting signing up for this program, just do it!  I found Steven’s program about two weeks into the program my law school endorses.  After the first week, I knew that the other program was not for me.  The program works for so many, it just was not a fit for me and I listened to my gut.  If you have any doubts, listen to them!  I did well in law school, but I felt I was not getting the feedback I needed and was not getting it fast enough.  Steven’s

After failing the bar exam, I knew I needed a study program that provided one-on-one assistance. I was licensed in another state almost twenty years ago, but needed to pass the California Bar exam to keep my new job. Steven’s tutorial program was exactly what I needed! Steven tailored my bar study around my very busy work schedule. He provided me regular feedback by email and a weekly meeting. The feedback was essential to ensure I did not make the same

I highly recommend Steven’s CA bar exam review course. I had to take two years off between law school and actually taking the bar exam due to personal circumstances. Needless to say, I was worried about taking the bar after being out of school for so long. Nonetheless, Steven talked me through my concerns and assured me that it was doable. Steven’s approach was significantly different from other programs that I had previewed. Steven has compiled all different

As a first time bar taker, I was extremely nervous about the exam. It is the test of all tests. However, during the lunch period of day one, I knew that the process worked. I knew that Steven’s method worked because I felt accomplished and as if I passed before I even saw Essays 4, 5 and the Performance Test.

Working with Steven was a Godsend. Thanks to Steven I passed the July 2023 California Bar exam on the first try and with a learning disability. My story is unique because I was working with a different tutor who was a complete disaster before I found Steven. From the beginning, I knew that I would need individualized help that a traditional commercial bar prep course could not offer. It is no secret that the California Bar exam is the hardest exam with such a

I passed the California Bar Exam using Calweasel Bar Tutorial! Based on my experience, I think Calweasel Bar Tutorial is a game changer for three reasons: (1) its materials are approachable and digestible, (2) it provides consistent feedback though a dedicated essay and Performance Test grader, and (3) it teaches you to write winning essays through what seems like a secret sauce perfected over decades of wins. — Andrew C., Esq., passed the July 2023 California Bar Examination

As a second time bar taker, I knew that the conventional bar exam study programs were not tailored for the type of studying/learning that I required to successfully pass the exam.  Steven took the time to sit down and speak with me, set goals and expectations, and created a realistic study schedule that was feasible in addition to working full time.  The tools provided were helpful and presented a clear understanding of how bar examiners wanted an essay

When I found out I had to retake the bar exam I felt overwhelmed. I knew the things I had to do differently but I had no idea what to actually do differently and I had no idea how to balance working full time while also studying.  I knew that if I studied the same way I had the first time I took the test I would get burned out and would not be able to do my best on test day.  Steven helped me identify my areas of weakness during our one on one meetings and he

As a second-time bar examiner, this course guided me to a passing score by focusing my attention on the details that bar exam graders focus on.  Professor Harris’ methodology on how to approach the exam is what helped me the most.  The bar exam is a broad and difficult examination; taking the wrong approach when studying will make achieving a passing score on the exam nearly impossible.  Professor Harris’s approach makes the massive amount of information

Steven’s program put me in the best position to finally pass the bar after multiple attempts. I tried Barbri, BarMax, Lean Sheets, Mary Basick, and flashcard services: all helpful in some form, but none of them as effective as Steven. He transformed my writing with constructive, brutally honest feedback and he prepared me for every issue that I could possibly encounter in any essay and PT. In my case, I did Steven’s program twice; the first time I did not

To be honest, I had some doubt at the beginning because I didn’t know what to expect. But as weeks go by, I no longer feel worried because I had a complete view of the California Bar Examination and what I need to prepare to pass the exam. This is what you will get from Steve with his 20 plus years of experience.

I can’t speak highly enough about the WINNIN’ TIME! book. During the course of my bar studies I used the  WINNIN’ TIME! book just as much, if not more than my Barbri books. While traditional bar courses offer great lectures & MBE materials, WINNIN’ TIME! is the best when it comes to essay preparation and rule memorization. The mnemonics are easy to remember & the elements of the law are broken down into their simplest forms. Whenever I was lost or confused, I

Why? I needed a military-type of guidance that will keep me in a straight and disciplined path while meeting the desired objectives along the way. I will be blunt. Steven is tough. He gave me an earful more than once when I was deviating from the plan – and

That’s all I needed to know to see that Steven cared about his students because he gave me the time to get to know me and how I would be a good fit for his program.
As an average law student, I knew that I would need additional help

CA Bar is not an IQ Test

The California Bar is a beast, and don’t let anyone tell you any different.  The first time I took the bar, I used one of the most popular programs out there in the bar prep world.  Don’t get me wrong, the program was professionally done and provided useful information for the California Bar.  What you won’t hear however is that the people who use these programs often times use a third party for their bar prep in order to be better

I considered Wills & Trusts to be my hardest class of the semester, and the material was overwhelming. However, WINNIN’ TIME! saved me when exam time came. The outlines contain ready-to-use legal definitions, which make writing IRAC style law school essays much easier.

Steven Harris’ Calweasel tutoring program made all the difference in my preparation. When I was told that a tutor is only needed for accountability purposes, I wasn’t sure if I should make the investment of getting one for myself. I am very glad I enrolled in Steven’s program because after meetings used to discuss strategy, as well as countless hours that I dedicated to the material that was outlined in my detailed calendar, I soon found out that a tutor was

Steven gave me the best advice I heard regarding the bar exam: ‘Don’t be creative!’

I’m a ‘right-brain’ person, i.e. I’m better at conceptual and creative thinking than ‘left-brain’ people, who are better at linear thinking and at applying recipes to solve problems. The bar exam is very much a left-brain exercise: applying rules to facts patterns and arrive at sound conclusions. Steven’s technique really helped me focus on the mechanics of the bar

Steven’s one-on-one tutoring was the essential element which enabled me to clear the hurdle of passing the July 2017 California Bar Examination.

Having completed Steven’s bar prep course, I now know how blindly I went into the July exam! Steven’s MBE and Performance Test methods are completely unique and unlike anything a student will find in the standard bar review classes. Standard review classes are generic, as they have to appeal to every learning style out there. I

WINNIN’ TIME! helped me pass the bar exam for the following three reasons: (1) synthesize; (2) memorize; and (3) identify.

From the Himalayas to Houston to California… a point-generating journey like no other.

My Bar passing story is fairly unique and interesting. Had I found Steven Harris earlier it would have been a much shorter route to my eventual success on the California Bar. Right out of law school I, as most people, took the normal course. The whole time I was in class and working through the assignments I could feel an intuitive sense that something was off, it just

Steven’s Performance Test class is essential for anyone struggling with the Performance Test. After several attempts at taking the California bar, I was becoming discouraged because my Performance Test scores were consistently flat, hindering my ability to pass.

I had tried a couple of other PT prep courses, but their material was redundant and they had little impact on my scores.

However, Steven’s PT class provided an innovative approach in reviewing the

Steven,

My husband and I wanted to thank you for working with our two daughters. Both of them passed the California State Bar examination on the first try and both of our daughters say that your guidance helped them prepare and pass the test. Thank you so much and the tutoring money spent was well worth the results. It was a very happy Thanksgiving with the news that Ariel had passed the exam. We will give your name to anyone who needs help with preparation

I recommend Steven Harris and his tutoring program to anyone considering getting a bar exam tutor. I graduated from an out of state law school over 10 years ago but never took the bar exam. I took the California bar for the first time and didn’t pass. I was skeptical about paying for another bar review course (I took Bar/Bri), but I knew I wouldn’t pass if I took the same course again.

Steven showed me exactly how and what to study. His study program taught

The California bar exam is a strange animal–for some people, everything clicks the first time; for others it takes more effort. In his books, WINNIN’ TIME! and The Trigger List, Steve has reviewed what has been actually tested and credited in previous California bar exams, and has written a blueprint for successful memorization. As a tutor, Steve is responsive, patient, thorough and knowledgeable; every aspect of his program is geared toward hitting the

I began to utilize WINNIN’ TIME! one year into my law school experience, after meeting Mr. Harris at a school-sponsored writing workshop. I believe I received the highest grades in both my Evidence & Criminal Procedure courses because I employed the “boilerplates” for each respective subject found in WINNIN’ TIME! Needless to mention, I used those same boilerplates on the July 2009 administration of the California Bar Exam, which I successfully passed. I

I have no doubt that Steve Harris’ program is the reason I passed the California Bar Exam.

The large, national bar preparation programs were only of limited usefulness to me. Generally speaking, I found the hours-long lectures, even by nationally-acclaimed law professors, to be mind-numbing and unhelpful.

Steve’s program is much more about “active learning.” From day one, I was writing essays. Essays and essays and more essays. Steve individually graded 15

I realized that I never dropped you a line to let you know that I passed the July 2009 Bar Exam. I know you are probably swamped with retakers for Feb bar, so I will (try to) keep this short. I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thanks for all your help, your awesome book and your positive attitude. Before I attended your seminar at Cal Northern prior to starting to study, I was convinced that I was not going to be able to pass since I had just given birth

When I first contacted Steven Harris I had just recently found out I did not pass the July 2009 bar, it was a stressful time to say the least. During the course of our conversation I told Steve of my woeful essay and performance test scores. Steve assured me that he could help. Then I told Steve that my wife was pregnant and that my daughter was due to be born the week before the February 2010 Bar, bad timing, yet Steve reassured me that he could help me so

Thanks Steven for your coaching . I have recommended you to several of my friends repeating the California Bar exam. Only those of us who have taken this bad boy numerous times really get the flavor of the bar exam. And what a bitter pill it is to swallow. Nauseating. But you helped me to have fortitude and perseverance. It was fantastic to be sworn in tonight.

I was very skeptical to use Steven as I had spent thousands on tutors and other

Learning the law is not the only necessary condition for passing the Bar. Recognizing and internalizing the testing and grading format is equally important. Steven teaches both masterfully. He doesn’t just tell you what you need to know; Steven also teaches you a system that maximizes your ability to organize and write passing essays and performance tests under the stress and time constraints of the Exam. Essentially, Steven hands you a parachute and survival

On the final minute of the last day of the July 2010 California Bar, I slammed down my pencil and thought, “Now that’s how you take a Bar exam!” No doubt I would not have been able to have that experience without Steve’s help. The Point Generator System works! As a repeat taker, I had plenty of experience in what does not work. For the first time, I had road map for how to attack anything the Bar examiners wanted to throw at me. During the exam, I even smiled

Just like any student in an evening law school program, who works full time, goes to school 3 nights a week and attempts to lead a normal life (ha, ha), I found 1L a bit challenging. I was lost in the woods, I couldn’t see my way through to clear concise rule statements, and was having trouble organizing my essays. I was doing okay in my classes. However I wanted that extra edge. You know, the one that would

Hi Prof. Harris, I took your Pre-bar course at the University of San Francisco and I know that your outline book [WINNIN’ TIME!] was what enabled me to pass the bar exam the first time.

I thought you would find it interesting to hear that on my last day at my small firm internship, after turning in my last memo, my supervising attorney sent me an email saying that my legal writing skills were ‘probably among the best I have seen in several years of having interns at our office.’ I laughed because all I did was stick to the ‘requires because’ formula, and on multiple occasions looked back at my third memo to make sure I wasn’t deviating too

I absolutely owe my having passed the bar to Steve Harris and his program. Without a doubt, his study program works, but that’s only the half of it. His positive attitude and his confidence in his program are what really carried me through even when I had no confidence in myself.

Simple and direct is the path to passing the bar!

I had tried other commercial prep courses with little success. When I first started the system, I was skeptical because it almost seemed too easy. The program was reasonably paced, the assignments were direct, and the weekly discussions helped crystallize what was expected to gather enough points to pass the Bar exam. During my Bar preparation, I was also working as Mayor of a City of 40,000 that was

I highly recommend Steven for anyone who ‘learns by doing,’ thrives on personalized feedback, and doesn’t learn well in large group environments. I suffered through lectures, and spent countless hours making mountains of flash cards, but I was ill-prepared for the July exam; as a result, I passed one performance test—and nothing else.

The second time around was much different: I was able to work part time and study fewer hours, but I studied much more

“I didn’t know what I didn’t know until I met Professor Harris. Steven showed me that it wasn’t about the law I knew, but instead it was all about how I put that law down on paper. The graders want to see something specific and Steven showed me exactly what that was. I took his 4-month course, during which he graded numerous essays and performance tests and gave me specific individualized feedback on every one. It didn’t take long for me to incorporate that
