Our Story
Helix Bar Review by AccessLex℠ was developed as an extension of the mission of AccessLex Institute – to increase the access and further the success of aspiring lawyers from admission to law school to admission to the bar. Helix Bar Review closes the loop, making AccessLex a one-stop-shop for law school and bar exam success!
Created under the guiding principle that an exceptional, effective bar review program does not need to come with an exorbitant price tag attached.
At Helix Bar Review, we are mission-driven to provide best-in-class, full-service bar review at an affordable, no profit cost, bridging the gap between the financial means of a student and access to high-quality bar prep.
We believe the only person who should profit from purchasing a bar review program is the student. Our sole purpose is to help students successfully navigate the bar exam experience through high-quality preparation resources and a dedicated team of expert attorneys to guide students on their path to licensure. And we do that well.
With stellar pass rates that speak for themselves and positive reviews from Helix users across the country, there is no question about the efficacy of Helix Bar Review. But Helix isn’t just effective for the top-tier law student with a transcript full of A’s and B’s and the ability to devote 10-weeks to full-time study. The Helix approach works for everyone.
We meet modern learners where they are, with flexible study schedules starting 20-weeks before the bar exam to accommodate today’s increasingly busy students. The Helix Study Plan is manageable and engaging. Focusing on content that is frequently tested on the bar exam, Helix studiers alternate between reading short sections of interactive lessons, watching 5-10-minute videos, and engaging in plenty of practice (taking the form of questions, flashcards, and even a Game Center!). Helix keeps students productive and motivated throughout their course of study.
And because Helix was built from the ground up with today’s law students in mind, not based off a legacy program designed for a different generation of bar studiers, all Helix resources use the latest state-of-the-art tools based on learning science that fosters increased understanding and long-term retention.
But we’re not done. We’re constantly improving our suite of nonprofit bar prep resources, ensuring students have what they need when they need it. Next up is Helix NextGen, a comprehensive bar review program to prepare students sitting for the new iteration of the bar exam that jurisdictions will begin to administer in 2026.
At Helix, we know that no two bar studiers are the same, and we designed a course to work flexibly and efficiently for all types of learners. But you don’t have to take our word for it — experience the Helix difference for yourself!
