Extended Bar Prep Study group on Saturday at 10:30 in 325. The topic is Payment Systems (Commercial Paper). We’ll start with 10,000 foot overview of the topic, then write an essay (from a prior Ohio bar exam).
If you’re taking the February Ohio Bar Exam and you weren’t able to take Payment Systems (or you’d like a refresher) it’s a good way to master the basics you need for the bar exam.
Next Session: Wednesday @ 3:00 in 325. If you want a topic other than Payment Systems/Commercial Paper let me know!

Anki is particularly well-suited for learning rules if you are just starting your law school career. A little extra investement of time as you go through each class will make life much easier in a few short years when you start studying for the bar exam.
We’ll also explore short-cuts to help if you’re a 3L student just realizing how much you’ve forgotten since your 1L year!

Extended bar prep study sessions this Saturday at 10:30 in Room 325. We’ll do a Wills question. [Note: since I have to be at Copley Fairlawn High School at 10:00, and the marathon (below) may add to my drive time from there to the law school, we may be a tad late starting]
The extended bar prep study sessions are intended primarily for people within 2 semesters of the bar exam, but everyone is welcome to attend. Periodically reviewing subjects from your 1L year throughout your law school career will help build long-term memory. That should make it feel less like you’re starting over again from scratch when it’s your turn for the bar exam!
The Akron Marathon is on Saturday – so plan for crazy traffic and street closings. The best approach is from Route 8 – but it looks like they will be running circles around the law school from around 9 AM – noon.
The Polsky, South, Exchange, North and E.J Thomas Performing Arts Hall decks will be full of runners and spectators early Saturday morning, until about noon. People should use lots on the north and east side of campus, particularly the East Campus deck.
Here’s a route map:

Opportunities for extended bar prep this week:
Come join an extended bar prep study group to jump start your bar studying for the bar exam. Especially if you couldn’t fit Wills into your schedule, it’s a good chance to get your feet wet!
The Anki Flash Card Party is an introduction to the Anki spaced repetition application. You will have less stress during the formal bar prep period if you can develop a good set of flash cards and work during the semester to start packing rules into your long-term memory.
