I graduated from UCLA this past year and the school put a lot of effort into bar passage. UCLA paid for our bar prep - yes you heard that right. They bought memberships to a popular California Bar Exam study supplement BarEssays.com for every student. The money they spent obviously paid off.

I feel bad for Hasttings. Whatever they are doing there, it obviously isn’t working.
