Early Start Bar Study Group

Want an early start on your bar exam study?  Skipped Secured Transactions?  ASP has just the thing for you!

Thursday @ 1:00 or Saturday @ 10:30 AM in L-325.

Questions?  nlr22@uakron.edu

Early Start Bar Study Group

The Thursday group will NOT meet this week (I am out of the office through Friday).

Hope you can join us Saturday at 10:30 AM in L-325!

We’ll do a property essay this week.

All are welcome.

The group is intended primarily as a subject matter refresher, and an essay-writing skills practice for people preparing for the February (or July) bar exams.  But you also might find it useful if you still haven’t quite gotten the hang of IRAC or CRAC, how to use the facts to help sort out which rules to recite, or how to use an outline to help you organize your hypo answers.

Questions (or to be added to the early start website):  Nancy Reeves, Assistant Dean for Academic Success.  nlr22@uakron.edu

Early Start Bar Study Group

Get a head start preparing for the February or July bar exam*!

Weekly study groups on Thursday from 1PM – 3 PM and Saturday from 10:30 – 12:30.  L-325

Drop in to either one.  You don’t have attend same one each week, and you don’t have to commit to coming every week.

We’ll do a torts essay this week.

*You’re welcome to join us even if it isn’t this February or July you are taking the bar exam, and essay structure is pretty much the same everywhere so come even if you’re taking the bar exam in a state other than Ohio.

Questions:  Contact Nancy Reeves at nlr22@uakron.edu.
