Attention all July 2013 Bar Examinees:

Join us to practice for the MPT & Essays for free!

 

As an additional opportunity to prepare for your MPT and essays, we will be offering a practice MPT and practice essays here on campus on June 21, 2013 from 1:00pm-4:00pm. 

 

The workshop will begin with a simulated MPT.  A sample question will be assigned, and you will be given an opportunity to complete it.  A practice essay exam, consisting of three essays, will be held immediately following the MPT simulation.  We will grade your answers to both the MPT and essays so that you may see both your strengths and areas for improvement.

 

If you are unable to attend the workshop because you are working, please contact Ms. Palmer-Schmitz for assistance. 

 

Remember:  The essays and MPTs together equate two-thirds of your total bar exam score.  Don’t miss out on these crucial points!

 

Please RSVP to Donna K. Palmer, Esq. (Director, Academic Success Programs) at dpalmer1@uakron.edu.
