Your companion for mastering law school and the bar exam.

Case briefs, outlines, practice, and feedback in one account, from your first case to the bar exam.

Start bar prep with three years of your own work already in it. Elsewhere, study aids and bar review are separate products with separate histories. Whatever you did in 1L stays there. Here it’s one account: your case briefs, essays, and study history are still with you when bar prep starts, so your knowledge and progress carry over and you never start cold. Your NextGen exam-readiness and format scores are a separate thing — those are built by NextGen practice itself, and measured there rather than inherited.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is JD Simplified?

JD Simplified is a practice-first learning system for law students and bar takers. It brings your case briefs, outlines, notes, flashcards, and Ask JDS into one connected place — so you can understand the law, practice applying it, and focus on what actually matters.

Is it really free?

Yes. You can study, take notes, build outlines, and use core tools on the free plan, with no time limit. Full study mode and your own flashcards — premium decks unlock with a plan. Unlimited ($20/month or $200/year) adds those decks, courses, Issue Spotter, Essay Coach, Outline IQ, and unlimited Ask JDS.

Can JD Simplified help with the bar exam?

Yes. The same skills you build in law school — issue-spotting, applying rules, writing clear analysis — are what the bar tests. When you're ready, NextGen Practice is our practice-first prep built around how the NextGen bar exam actually works.

What's the difference between JD Simplified and NextGen Practice?

JD Simplified is your day-to-day system for law school. NextGen Practice is practice-first bar prep for the NextGen UBE, built in collaboration with Studicata. One account carries you from your first case brief through bar exam day.

Will my work carry over when I start bar prep?

Your knowledge and progress carry over — the studying you do in JD Simplified builds on into NextGen Practice, so you start ahead instead of from scratch. (Your bar-readiness is measured fresh in NextGen Practice itself.)
