Bar prep study groups will meet over spring break. Take advantage of the week without classes to get a head start preparing for the bar exam.

• Saturday 3/23 – 10:30 to 12:30 – Commercial paper (Payment Systems)
• Monday 3/25 – 6:30 – 8:30 – Wills
• Tuesday 10:30 – 12:30 – TBD
• Saturday 3/31 10:30 to 12:30 – TBD

All sessions meet in L-325.

No advance preparation required. If you are planning to take the bar exam at some point in the future you welcome to attend, although it will probably be most useful if you are in your last last couple of semesters.

If you’ve already received your bar prep outlines, bring the Ohio outline for Saturday or Monday. (If you haven’t received your materials yet – or if you are a semester or two away from graduating, I’ve got a few extra outlines you can borrow for the session.)
