The First Congress required the Attorney General to be "a meet person, learned in the law." I hope to prove to the satisfaction of the Illinois Board of Bar Examiners that I am the same, or at least the latter. To that end, I must learn the law of Illinois, and of "Multistate." I will, however, be spending the summer in San Francisco, outside the jurisdiction of the ubiquitous BARBRI, and my interest in the overpriced BARBRI iPod is tepid.

Does any Crescat reader have any experience with the "Micromash" bar study program, possibly supplemented with a battery of used BARBRI of Illinois books? Extra points for impartial advice if you are not an employee of either corporation.
