Washington Bar Review Textbook Features

|
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 Contract outline to the other courses. You will immediately realize why Rigos students have a higher pass rate than any of the competitive courses.
