Professor Lydia Loren Helps Make Bar Review More Affordable
In December 2020, Loren filmed 12 course modules focused on real property topics for Helix Bar Review by AccessLex, a new bar review program being brought to market by AccessLex Institute, a national nonprofit dedicated to the betterment of legal education. The program is offered to bar takers at cost, with a transparent pricing structure.
Loren was one of 25 law professors from around the country who filmed modules that cover topics tested on the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE). “Fresh competition in the bar review market, especially from a newcomer that is harnessing the advantages of new technology, will serve students well,” Loren said. “Students spend three long years (or more) studying to be lawyers—they need a cost-effective study tool to help them surmount the final hurdle of the bar exam.”
Loren is no stranger to participating in market disruption. In 2009, she cofounded a digital publishing company that offers law school casebooks on a pay-what-you-want model, with a suggested price of only $30. Many new casebooks offered by conventional publishers cost closer to $300, by comparison.

Beyond the Bar
Most graduates of law school go on to practice law, working in law firms or providing legal counsel to organizations and businesses. Yet, for some, the lessons of law apply more broadly, and the outcome of their law school education has been a surprising and successful career outside of law. Here are just a few of our alums who followed an alternative route.
