Recent Testimonial: Amanda was the absolutely best tutor that I could have had for the exam. I struggled with passing twice and realized that my issue was that I was studying improperly. Amanda set the record straight and created a whole system for me which proved to be successful beyond my wildest dreams. I jumped up over 40 points because of Amanda, thank God! I can’t stress this enough, it’s not about how much time you study, it’s about HOW you study! Take it from someone who failed twice using Barbri…study the right way the first time and save yourself the headache. -Saul A.

Julia

Position: Tutor

Experience: 6 bar exam administrations at JD Advising

Bar Exam Score: 319

Notable Accomplishment: Helped numerous bar takers increase their scores–some very significantly (e.g. 40 points)!

Bio: Julia received her bachelor’s degree summa cum laude from the University of Minnesota in 2018 in Law, the Media, and Human Rights. She earned her J.D. magna cum laude from the University of Richmond School of Law in 2021 and is now a licensed attorney in Minnesota. While in law school, Julia worked three jobs, served on the editorial board of the Public Interest Law Review, co-founded the First-Generation Law Students Association, and served on the Alternative Dispute Resolution Board. She received CALI awards in Criminal Procedure and Advanced Trial Advocacy. Upon graduation, she received the Orell-Brown Award for Clinical Excellence in the Children’s Law Center, and the Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Award.

Julia passed the UBE in July 2021 with a score of 319 while working as a judicial law clerk. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, sailing, and spending time with friends.

Recent Testimonial: I would recommend Julia to anyone and everyone, and have in fact already recommended her to my classmate who needs to take the bar again. I had to retake the bar, and I was just notified that this time I passed very comfortably with a 40-point score jump, enough to be admitted anywhere. That was due in no small part to the 25 hours of intensive, personalized, schedule-flexible tutoring and exam-prepping that Julia provided. Julia’s tutoring and JD Advising’s helpfully illustrated, meticulously prepared study materials (especially those on the historically most tested topics) were like night and day from my first bar prep experience. By the end, and really as early as about a month from the test, I felt very confident I would pass and pass comfortably — a big difference from my “It’s a coin flip” attitude before the first try. Julia can answer any bar question in about two minutes, making you feel smart for having asked it, move on to the next question, and then suggest what you should be focusing on/doing given your time from the test.

Money spent on Julia and JD Advising is money well spent—the gold standard in my opinion. You can’t go wrong and if you work hard, keep a rhythm and do what they say, you should pass afterwards
