Are you taking the July Ohio Bar Exam?*
If yes, then here is your opportunity to begin to prepare.
Akron Law is offering a free workshop series called ESSENTIAL LEGAL CONCEPTS (ELC) to help prepare you for the upcoming July bar exam. The workshop will focus on your understanding of the bar exam and provide you with essential skills needed to effectively study for the Ohio Bar exam. Akron Law strongly encourages your enrollment in this workshop, although it is not designed to replace any bar exam preparation course you are taking, but rather to be a supplement.
The workshops will be held on the following days from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Law School (Room L-152):
Saturday, February 7 – Introduction to the Ohio Bar Exam (Taped for later viewing)
Saturday, February 14 – Focus on the Ohio Essay Exam
Saturday, February 21 – Focus on the Multistate Bar Exam
Saturday, February 28 – Focus on the Multistate Performance Test
Three sessions remain. You are invited to attend these three, even if you could not make the first session. The first session was taped and will be available later this week. Contact Nancy Reeves at nlr22@uakron.edu for access
*If you are a current student and not taking the Ohio bar, the course may not be catered to your specific bar exam, but you are still welcome to participate.
Registration:
To register, please contact Nancy Reeves at nlr22@uakron.edu or sign up here. Please register even if you might have to miss one session. You will still benefit from attending as many of the classes as possible.
QUESTIONS?
If you have any questions regarding the workshop in general, please contact Adjunct Professor Michael Walsh at walsh@uakron.edu.
