I hadn't thought about the optional aspect, but I think you're right that it's necessary to work. Agreed.

I heard about the lock-in rates and I thought to myself, psssh, what does it matter if some biglaw firm is footing the bill? Clearly an error on my part. Definitely much smarter than me.

They may not elect to do so for various reasons, but it would be nice to have the option. It's not an inexpensive proposition and working while studying for the bar isn't desirable.

By the time second semester my 3L year rolled around I owed about $400. Much less devastating than having to pay it all at once. And I got to lock in my rate my 1L year, so I ended up saving a few hundred bucks too.

A lot of professional companies offer tuition programs because they are often unused thus not costing them much. I plan to use my company’s tuition reimbursement program to offset the cost of BarBri.
