I began working for a national bar review company in New York City in the summer of 1990, a year after graduating from law school (and passing the bar exam)! I did anything and everything I could for the bar review company, from answering students questions, to updating the substantive materials to re-working answers to the essay materials for greater clarity. In 1991 I was given the opportunity to work with clients individually.

I have given private tutorials in bar exam preparation every winter and summer since then. While doing this I realized that the needs of people repeating the bar exam were dramatically different from the needs of first-time takers. This led me to develop the substance and strategy of The Sullivan Method.

The Sullivan Method materials reflect the best way I know of learning the material that is essential to pass the bar exam. The hundreds of people who have seen the substantive materials have given me lots of valuable feedback over the years based on what they saw on the bar exam, and this feedback is reflected on every page. The strategy section of the materials has been derived from the experiences of all the people I have worked with. They told me what works for them - I am certain you will find this to be an invaluable resource.

I also practice law in Washington, DC, on behalf of animal advocacy & protection organizations. I earned a B.A. in psychology from Clark University in 1984. I received my J.D. in 1989 from the Washington College of Law of American University, and received an LL.M. in labor law from the Georgetown University Law Center in 1995. I am a member of the bar in New York, the District of Columbia, and Maryland.
