Hello,

I am a foreign trained law student who is interested in writing the NY Bar Exam in July 2009. I have completed my civil law degree and I will have completed a one year common law program by the middle of May 2009, which will make me eligible to sit for the NY Bar exam. I have been looking into a bar preparation course such as Barbri or Pieper. I know that these courses are 2 month courses which begin in mid-May and end in mid July

My question is as follows: Is a 2 or 2.5 month period enough for a foreign trained lawyer to prepare for the NY Bar exam??

Also, is one of these programs better than the other?

THANK YOU.
