Washington State BAR Materials 
Our materials have been designed specifically for the unique Washington Bar Exam. We do not use any materials written for a national audience. Other courses write to the national audience and plug-in information pertaining to Washington. With Rigos, you will only study material that is tested in Washington.
Concise and Comprehensive Texts - You do not have time to wade through all the material tested on the multi-state exam. On the Washington State Bar, less is more. This is a very important issue to a serious student. We suggest you go to our sample chapter section of this site. Compare our Commercial Paper outline to the other courses. You will immediately realize why Rigos students have a higher pass rate than any of the competitive courses.
Loose-Leaf Format - The Rigos two-volume BAR textbooks are contained in three-ringed binders to allow updating and the insertion of class notes.
Important Advantages - The Rigos material contains such useful and important aids as Magic Memory Outlines, memory ladders, acronyms, Rigos tips and frequency distributions of prior questions' issues and black letter law.
Questions and Answers - The texts contain hundreds of prior Bar exam questions with sample answers or answer outlines.
Question Approach - The Rigos system teaches you the "flowing memory-assisted approach" to maximize your scores. Acronyms are a pre-formatted way to memorize and recall the black letter law, ensuring an accurate, organized and complete answer covering all relevant issues.
