AccessLex Institute

The #SummerofChampions has officially begun! Tatiana Kemp, AccessLex Champion and May 2024 graduate from South Texas College of Law Houston, is taking her summer to prepare for the July bar exam. She began studying shortly after her graduation in May to maximize study time and to feel well-prepared. Tatiana wrote: “As suggested, I will dedicate about 40 hours per week to studying, as if it were my full-time job. I know I've got my work cut out for me, but it's necessary so that I can be one and done!" Wishing you the best as you continue your studies, Tatiana!
