Preparing for the Bar Exam: VA

Regent Law Faculty are absolutely committed to preparing students for their state's bar exam.

Members of the Law Faculty are very actively involved with the Virginia Board of Bar Examiners Professor’s meeting, held after every bar exam given in Feb. and July, and participate, along with professors of other schools, in drafting model answers for every exam.

This guide is designed to complement, and should not be used to replace a formal bar exam preparatory course or information posted for current students by the Office of Career & Alumni Services.

Additional information compiled by the Law Library about the Virginia Bar Exam is available on our Bar Preparation Resources page.
