Description
The course will focus on the unique tools and skills needed to begin bar exam preparation through a substantive review of the seven major areas covered by the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE). It will initiate students into understanding their unique learning processes and how best to adapt them for a successful bar exam preparation. In so doing, the course will utilize differentiated learning that adapts to individual students and the small class setting, and it will serve to launch students into a spring semester of bar preparation courses that focus on testing and writing strategies.
