The first of 5 bar prep workshops will be held this week!

• Essay Structure Workshop:  Tuesday, June 5:  1:30 PM – L-201 or Wednesday, June 6:   5:30 PM – L-202

 Graders spend an average of 2-3 minutes reading each of your essays.  Those 2-3 minutes will determine whether you will earn a license to practice law.   Learn to make your essay grader-friendly so that those minutes count!

• [Note:  ALA alumni are absolutely welcome to join  this session for a refresher, but it is very similar to the  introduction to essay writing in ALA.]
• Food & informal Q&A starts at 1:00/6:00; the workshop starts at 1:30/6:30 PM and will last no more than an hour and a half.
• Please bring your computer (if you expect to take the exam using a computer), an electronic version of any essay you have written, OR 2 paper copies of your essay and multiple highlighters of different colors)
• All workshops available by webex:  https://uakron.webex.com/join/nlr22
• Sign up here so I make sure to bring enough food!

(Note:  If you were unable to sign up for ALA in the fall, due to schedule conflicts, but wanted to build  an equivalent experience – this is one of the places to start!)
