BARBRI was founded in 1967 by three Chicago attorneys — Richard J. Conviser, Lewis B. Collens, and Beardsley Ruml — as the Bar Review Institute. Over nearly six decades, it has become the largest bar exam preparation provider in the United States, having supported more than 1.5 million learners worldwide in achieving bar passage. The company offers preparation courses covering every U.S. state and the District of Columbia, for both the summer and winter bar exam administrations.
The platform's core product is a structured bar review course that includes expert-recorded lectures on substantive law, thousands of multiple-choice practice questions, essay practice with model answers, and a proprietary AI-driven Personalized Study Plan (PSP). The PSP analyzes each student's performance from the start of their study period and recalibrates daily, adjusting the sequence and emphasis of assignments based on demonstrated strengths, weaknesses, and time remaining before the exam. BARBRI also incorporates AdaptiBar, an MBE-focused adaptive practice tool, as a supplemental option.
BARBRI's primary users are law graduates preparing for their first bar exam, as well as repeat takers and attorneys seeking admission in additional jurisdictions. The course is typically taken during the two to three months between graduation and the bar exam, with students following the adaptive study plan as their primary daily structure during that period.
BARBRI differentiates itself through its track record and market scale — more attorneys practicing in the United States have used BARBRI than any other single bar prep provider — combined with its investment in adaptive learning technology that moves beyond static study schedules toward individualized preparation paths.
