The California Bar tests 435 rules across 13 subjects. With BarBrief, you'll see all of them — the only question is how fast you want to get there.
Both plans cover every CBX subject and every testable rule. Max gets you to the finish line faster — and adds the Sunday PT coaching session below.
Most bar prep tools wait for you to log in, find time, and sit down. BarBrief does the opposite — it shows up in your inbox every day with exactly what you need to study. You don't chase the prep. The prep comes to you.
Every one of the 435 testable CBX rules, weighted by how often each subject appears on real exams. Nothing skipped, nothing wasted.
On the subway, in line for coffee, waiting at the gate. BarBrief is designed to fit into your day — not replace it. Ten minutes is all you need.
Spaced repetition brings rules back when you're about to forget them. The system tracks your recall and adjusts intervals automatically — from 2 to 21 days.
BarBrief isn't a replacement for Barbri, Themis, or Kaplan — it's the daily habit that makes everything else stick. Your prep course teaches you the law. BarBrief makes sure you remember it.
We track your daily streak, your recall accuracy, and your subject coverage — so you always know where you stand and what needs work.
All times Pacific. Multi-timezone support coming soon.
Every brief includes new CBX rules — weighted by how often each subject appears on real exams. Community Property shows up more than Remedies, and your prep should reflect that.
Essay-style fact patterns with full IRAC model answers — one per rule. Written fresh daily, never recycled from copyrighted MBE banks.
A real past CBX essay prompt with a breakdown of what the examiners were looking for — issues to spot, rules to cite, and common mistakes.
Every essay includes two real answers from candidates who passed the California Bar — with comparative analysis showing how different approaches both earned passing scores.
Most prep tools show you one "model answer" and hope you figure out the rest. BarBrief gives you two real answers from candidates who passed the California Bar — side by side — with AI-generated comparative analysis showing exactly why both approaches worked.
You don't just learn what to write. You learn that there's more than one way to pass — and which strategies match your own writing style.

The Performance Test is the part of the bar exam most candidates fear and most prep courses underserve. BarBrief Sunday PT changes that.
Every Sunday morning, Max subscribers receive a real past CBX Performance Test — Feb 2012 through Jul 2025 — with a senior-attorney-style coach walking through it section by section. No 90-minute simulation pressure. Just structured guidance through the moves a high-scorer would make.
A 23-year marriage, a $200M business that was started before the marriage, and a Pereira/Van Camp apportionment fight. This PT rewards candidates who recognize the framework before they pick a side…
Marriage of Rand gives you the test, but it's the dicta on "reasonable salary" that most candidates skim past. That's where the points are — read it twice.
All property acquired during marriage is presumed to be community property. The presumption may be overcome by tracing the source of funds to a separate property origin or by a valid transmutation agreement.
