Michigan Bar Exam Appeals

MICHIGAN NO LONGER ALLOWS BAR EXAM APPEALS

If you failed the Michigan Bar Exam, we want to start by saying we are very sorry that you did not pass. We know it can be devastating when something you have worked so hard for does not come to fruition.

The good news is, depending on your score as well as the content of your essays, you might be able to appeal your score. An appeal is basically a persuasive brief that argues why you should receive more points on the essay portion of the Michigan Bar Exam. A successful appeal would mean that you can become a licensed lawyer without having to retake the bar exam. We know something about writing successful appeals.

• In February 2022, 8 appeals passed in the state of Michigan and we wrote 6 of them.
• In July 2021, 15 appeals passed in the state of Michigan and we wrote 13 of them.

If you are wondering whether you have a good chance of succeeding on an appeal, we have a detailed online resource that is worth consulting. This resource should help you make a determination about whether it is worth it to appeal. If you would like to hear our opinion about your specific score, feel free to give us a call (248-497-0187) or send us an e-mail (info@barappeals.com). We are happy to review your essays, talk (free of charge) about your score and discuss the likelihood of succeeding on an appeal.

If you decide to appeal your score, the next decision you have to make is whether you will write your own appeal or whether you want to hire us to write one for you. We have a blog post that specifically talks about this decision and the factors you should consider. You can read the blog post, Should I Write My Own Appeal or Should I Have Someone Write it For me?” here. We have plenty of resources and how-to guides for students who decide to write their own appeal. You can also check out our guide to “the next step” if you decide to appeal your score.

If you are looking for someone to write the appeal for you, please do not hesitate to contact us. We write all of our appeals through our firm, The Heidemann Jabbori Law Firm, PLLC. Our firm specializes in writing Michigan Bar Exam appeals. As mentioned above, we wrote all of the appeals that passed in July 2018. In July 2019, 7 of the 9 appeals we wrote passed.

We only take a limited number of appeals each administration so feel free to sign-up early then take your name off the list if you decide not to appeal your score or change your mind about having us write it. It is best to contact us sooner rather than later!

We charge $5,550 as a flat rate per appeal. For more information, please contact us at info@barappeals.com or 248-497-0187.
