We’re conducting a research study titled "Trauma-Informed Bar Prep" to explore the challenges law graduates face during bar exam preparation. This survey will provide critical insights into how mental health, socioeconomic status, and personal circumstances influence bar prep success.

We’d greatly appreciate your help in sharing this survey with your alumni and recent graduates. Their input will shape trauma-informed and equitable bar prep resources for future law students.

Survey Details:

• Who Can Participate? Law graduates who have taken the bar exam, regardless of outcome.
• Time Commitment: 15–20 minutes.
• Deadline: May 1, 2025
• Survey Link: TraumaInformedBarprep.com

Thank you for your support in creating a better bar exam experience!
