Re: BarBri or Rigos Bar Review
Posted by Melissa Campos on 2/03/06

    I'm a law student at SU trying to decide whether to go with
    the "ever-reliable"(?) BARBRI or to go for the local company,
    Rigos. I've been reading your reviews of barbri and it seems like
    people really like the small class room setting that the state prep
    course offers. Rigos also offers small classes and one-on-one
    attention. But BARBRI seems really structured, an attractive thing
    for a law student. I'm torn b/w the tried and true BARBRI or the
    smaller local company Rigos. i mean, if BARBRI has worked for so
    long, why risk it? comments?
