LAW640

Legal Analysis for the Bar Examfocuses on improving the analytical skills students need to perform well on the bar examination. Students will learn and practice strategies and techniques used in answering questions posed in allthree bar exam components (MBE, MEE, and MPT). Students will work through MEE and MPTquestions from previous bar examinations and receive feedback on those exercises. Students will also practice sample MBE questions and learn how to autopsy answer choices. Additionally, students will participate in self-diagnostic, peer review, reflection, and other formativeexercises to improve their skills and identify areas of strengths and weaknesses. The course will use law from three subjects that are routinely tested on multiple portions of the bar exam (Federal Civil Procedure, Evidence, and Torts) and help students develop strategies to review their knowledge in those and other tested topics. The course will also address strategies for preparing for the bar exam, including planning, memorization, self-care, and other practical skills. Please note that this course is intended to serve as a suitable first step to prepare for any state's bar examination. However, the course is intended to supplement, not replace, a full commercial bar review and preparation course.
