Rebecca Petrilli graduated from Wittenberg University with a BA in English and Art History, then received her JD from Case Western Reserve University School of Law. She is a first-generation lawyer and one of very few people in her extended family to receive a bachelor's degree. She's worked for Themis for six years and, before sitting for the bar exam, was a Themis Rep in law school (all three years). She used Themis for the MPRE and the bar exam, passing both on the first try. She's passionate about helping students pass the bar with as much ease as possible. She enjoys reading, gardening, and spending time in nature.
Taylor Williams graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2015 with a double major in psychology and legal studies and a certificate in criminal justice. In college, she worked in two psychology labs - one studying psychopaths in prison and the other working at Mendota Mental Health Institute, which is the inpatient hospital where people who successfully pled insanity are treated. She earned her JD from Georgia State College of Law in Atlanta in 2019 and was planning to continue working in family law, but everything changed after she failed the Georgia bar and her boss cut her salary by roughly 30% with no warning. When she switched to Themis to prepare for the UBE, her score went up 26 points, and she passed in every UBE jurisdiction. She attributes her success on the bar exam to Themis's MBE performance data and director support. At the time we recorded this episode, Taylor had worked for Themis for over 3 years as a Sales Director. She has since moved to a new role as an attorney recruiter with Skywater Search Partners. We wish Taylor all the best in this new role!
