Ohio Bar Exam: February Hotel Block

The Ohio February bar exam is being held at the Roberts Centre in Wilmington, Ohio on February 22 and 23, 2022. The block of hotel rooms at the Roberts Centre opens up for February bar examinees today (November 9) at noon. There are only about 100 rooms, so they go quickly.

  • 1-937-283-3200 – Choose option 3 (not 4) – Option 4 (make a reservation) seems more logical, but will take you to the corporate reservations – which cannot reserve rooms at the Roberts Centre because of the room block. You need option 3 (the desk at the Roberts Centre).

Extended Bar Prep study sessions

Friday 6:30 – 8:30 PM

  • Topic: Business Associations
  • Remote session : Visit the ASP BrightSpace calendar for the link
  • NLR Note: I have a 5:30 appointment in Green that predates selection of this time. The prompt will be posted in the ASP BrightSpace page (along with a Google Doc link). Zoom will open for the session as soon as one of you arrives. I will find an internet connection as close to 6:30 as possible, but start issue spotting until I get there!

Saturday 11:00 – 1:00 <<- Note the new time!

  • Topic: Constitutional Law (Commerce Clause)
  • Room 325 – in person session

These are essay-writing sessions designed primarily for those taking a bar exam in February or July – but anyone is welcome to drop in! They are a good way to enhance your essay-writing skills, to refresh substantive knowlege that is a distant memory, or get a sneak peek at subjects you haven’t taken yet.

  • Room 325 – in person session

These are essay-writing sessions designed primarily for those taking a bar exam in February or July – but anyone is welcome to drop in! They are a good way to enhance your essay-writing skills, to refresh substantive knowlege that is a distant memory, or get a sneak peek at subjects you haven’t taken yet.

We’ll have a 10,000 foot overview of trusts and future estates on Friday, but we’ll likely dive right in to the property essay on Saturday.

2L+ BARBRI Mastery Series

The switch from zips.uakron.edu email addresses to uakron.edu email addresses is the gift that keeps on giving! (Most of) your BARBRI accounts were established with the zips email address, and the link in BARBRI’s system between your old email address and your new one system has been imperfect.

If you are a 2L student (or higher) you SHOULD have access to the BARBRI Mastery Series, but I have heard from some of you that you still do not.

Please log in to your BARBRI account and confirm that you are able to access the 2L/3L Mastery series. (You can confirm this by using the settings cog in the upper right corner of the screen and selecting “My Courses.” If you have access, the 2L/3L bead that appears on the right side of the screen will be green and say, “Access Now.”)

If you do NOT have access to the 2L3L Mastery Series, please complete the survey here so I can make sure that BARBRI makes the necessary changes to your account.

In the mean time – if you moved up to the 2L level this year and have not yet picked up your BARBRI outline book, please stop by the ASP suite (217) to pick yours up. (If you missed it in a prior year because you were taking classes remotely, feel free to stop by as well.)

Extended bar prep study sessions

Extended bar prep study sessions have started again! Through the end of the semester, we’ll meet Fridays 6:30 – 8:30 (online) and Saturday 10:30 – 12:30 in Room 325.

Each week we issue spot and then write an essay in response to an actual bar exam prompt. If it’s a topic that is often not taken in law school, we start with a 10,000 foot overview. Although the study sessions are designed for people who are within 2 semesters of the bar exam, anyone who wants to start studying for the bar exam (or just take advantage of the opportunity to do some essay writing) is welcome1

This week’s topics: Property (Friday) and Evidence or ACJ (Saturday).

If you want to attend the online session (Friday), you can find the link in the ASP BrightSpace calendar – or just send me an email.
