How to Build Your Legal Network with BARBRI

Networking isn't just a nice-to-have; it’s essential in today’s competitive legal industry. But where do you start? Enter BARBRI, a trusted partner that goes beyond bar prep to provide professional education and career-building opportunities.
BARBRI has reshaped the way legal professionals grow their networks, offering you tools to connect at every stage of your legal learning and career. From Continuing Legal Education (CLE) and Continuing Professional Education (CPE) courses to E-Discovery and Professional Skills training, BARBRI’s offerings give you a competitive edge. Here’s how they can help unlock your potential while expanding your professional network.

Leverage Professional Development Courses to Connect

Imagine sitting in on a BARBRI CLE seminar or attending an E-Discovery certification session. Do you know who else is there? Likely, other driven legal professionals just like you. BARBRI’s courses are more than just educational—they're opportunities to share a virtual or in-person space with professionals across the legal spectrum. Whether you're earning required credits, developing cutting-edge skills, or exploring advanced certification, these programs place you face-to-face with peers, mentors, and even potential employers.

Networking through CLE and CPE

Continuing education is often thought of as an individual task. But with BARBRI’s leading CLE and CPE courses, you gain much more than knowledge—you build connections. Engaging in workshops and exclusive webinars allows you to meet professionals you might not have encountered otherwise. Whether you’re in litigation, transactional law, or corporate compliance, the cross-disciplinary format of these offerings fosters collaboration and opens doors for new relationships.
Imagine wrapping up a CLE webinar discussion on emerging case law trends and connecting with attorneys who share your practice area. These aren’t just fleeting conversations—they’re the beginnings of valuable professional relationships.
Build Industry Specific Ties with E-Discovery Certification and Training
E-Discovery is a booming field, and gaining a certification through BARBRI not only boosts your credentials but also embeds you into a network of like-minded experts. The certification process involves working alongside other legal professionals who, like you, are committed to advancing their careers. Discussion forums, assignments, and skill-building exercises organically create avenues for collaboration.
Certification isn’t just a checkmark on your resume; it’s an introduction to a community of professionals who value expertise and are looking to collaborate within the digital discovery space. These connections often extend beyond the classroom into thriving, long-term partnerships.
Cultivate Long-Term Relationships through Professional Skills Development
BARBRI’s Professional Skills Courses are specifically designed to help attendees sharpen their business acumen, negotiation finesse, and legal practice expertise. While these courses are a goldmine for building your personal and professional skill set, they also present unmatched networking prospects. When you're learning alongside peers or receiving feedback from instructors who are industry leaders, you’re creating a natural foundation for ongoing mentorship and collaboration.
For example, a BARBRI negotiation skills workshop might have you role-playing with future colleagues or mentors. These moments of shared learning build rapport that’s hard to replicate in other contexts. It’s learning and networking all wrapped into one.

Begin Networking Early in Your Legal Career

Just beginning your legal journey? BARBRI doesn’t leave you out. Whether it’s Law School Prep or their LSAT courses, BARBRI introduces early-career legal professionals to a network of driven individuals right from the start. Later, when you transition into professional life, those early connections can deepen into trusted allies and collaborators.
And if you're pursuing specialist qualifications like the U.S. bar exam or Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE), BARBRI's tailored prep courses include mentorship, community forums, and peer interactions that prime you for networking success even before you're officially a practicing attorney.
