About
This course is designed to prepare students for the bar exam by focusing on skill development. Specifically, students will receive in-depth skill instruction on reading comprehension, issue identification, rule mastery, critical thinking, legal analysis, and recognition of distractors. Students will also gain a strong conceptual understanding and knowledge of highly tested substantive doctrines and will be taught how to develop, use, and apply a flexible but strong analytical framework to solve bar exam problems. The course will use substantive law, problems, and exercises in a bar exam format to familiarize students with techniques for answering multiple choice (MBE) questions; and analyzing, organizing, and writing essay and multistate performance (MPT) questions. THIS COURSE IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A COMMERCIAL BAR PREPARATION COURSE. Prerequisite: Enrollment is limited to 3L/4L students who have completed or are enrolled in at least 58 credit hours at the time of registration. You may not take this course in the same semester in which you are taking the bar exam (i.e., you may not take this course during the spring semester if you are sitting for that February's bar exam).
