In this week’s #SummerofChampions, Elaine Montgomery, Northern Illinois University College of Law class of 2024 graduate, fills us in on her summer plans! “I finally graduated from law school! The last three years have been the most difficult but rewarding years of my life," wrote Elaine. After taking some time to celebrate following graduation, Elaine has been gearing up to take the UBE in Arizona this month, using Helix UBE and the Helix MBE supplement in her prep. “In order to maximize my time, I will not be working during the months of studying, which I am very fortunate to be able to do,” Elaine shared. “After taking the bar exam, I will be doing some traveling, and taking some long naps. I am excited to take on the last hurdle of this journey before becoming an attorney!” Congratulations, Elaine, on your law school graduation and all the best on the upcoming bar exam! https://ow.ly/hWOn50SBMBo

McKinney School of Law class of 2024 graduate, describes her #PreLawtoLawyer experience and the tools she utilized for success! “When first entering law school, […] I felt that I didn’t belong.

I am so proud that I got through it and am on my way to becoming a part of the legal community!” “I would definitely recommend that law students use AccessLex Institute’s Law School Scholarship Databank,” she added. “I also strongly suggest using the Helix Bar Review by AccessLex MPRE prep course.
