Helix Bar Review by AccessLex Introduces Helix NextGen, Comprehensive Bar Prep for the NextGen UBE

WEST CHESTER, Pa., March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Helix Bar Review by AccessLex^® is pleased to announce the launch of Helix NextGen – high-impact bar preparation for the NextGen Uniform Bar Exam (NextGen UBE).

Open now, five months ahead of the first administration of the NextGen UBE in July, Helix NextGen builds on the Company's student-first approach to bar review, prioritizing efficient and effective preparation built around a deep understanding of bar studier experience. Helix NextGen strengthens the foundational skills required for bar passage through an emphasis on active learning, rigorous practice, confidence-building, and personal support.

"The true measure of any bar prep program is how responsibly it equips students for arguably the most important exam of their lives. With Helix NextGen, we've built on years of student-focused design and learning innovation to create the most personalized and closely aligned experience for the new test," said Cynthia Cassity, Chief Operating Officer at Helix Bar Review and Senior Vice President at AccessLex Institute^®. "What will distinguish bar prep providers moving forward isn't history or legacy – but investing in students' journeys, instilling strategy and confidence along the way, and providing thorough preparation to help drive their success. Every aspect of Helix NextGen was developed with these responsibilities at its core."
