-- Kashana Cauley,

"As a foreign-trained attorney who had only prepared for eight weeks prior to the exam, I found Dr. Gallagher's three-day boot camp incredibly useful.

"Dr Gallagher takes the mass of information studied and teaches her students how to apply it effectively in essays. Her course assists in developing both the substantive legal knowledge and also essay-writing technique. 

"I knew when I walked into the exam that I had a good working knowledge of the areas that are actually tested."
