bar buddy

bringing community and movement to law students and lawyers

bar buddy is a mind–body community

Bar Buddy is rethinking what it means to become a lawyer.

we’re building a culture that starts in bar prep and carries into practice, one that makes space for well-being, movement, and creativity alongside ambition. doing your best work isn’t about pushing harder at all costs; it’s about building habits that support your career and still leave room for the things you care about.

strong body, sound mind

we’ve been through bar prep ourselves and know how quickly it can wear you down. you study alone all day and then have to figure out how to review your practice exams and mock essays on your own. the days that turn into weeks feel lonely, long, and relentless.

at bar buddy, we want to change that into a healthier, more positive experience. through short, accessible movement sessions and a built-in, non-judgmental community, bar buddy helps to reduce burnout and isolation, making your bar prep feel more sustainable.

when you feel better, you study better.

our july 2026 bb program currently represents 3Ls from:

AUWCL, Catholic University, Cincinnati Law, Columbia Law, Fordham Law, Pepperdine Law, Rutgers Law School, St. Mary's University, Sturm College of Law, Temple University, UC Davis Law, and UPenn Law

already passed the bar?

we believe the same tenets - strong body & sound mind - apply during your first year of practice and beyond. come move and find community with us!
