Extended Bar Prep study sessions

Akron Law offers bar prep study sessions from September/October through the July bar exam. They are two hours sessions in which we tackle actual bar exam questions and construct an answer that would earn a 6/6 on the bar exam.

If the bar exam is right around the corner (February or July), they are excellent practice for you! Attending as few as 3 sessions strongly correlates with a higher chance of passing the bar exam. They are also good early practice, even for 1L students, when we tackle the 1L subjects!

If you think you might be interested in attending, vote here to help choose the days and times for the sessions between now and December. (Priority will be given to the preferences for those graduating in December.)

Questions? Contact Nancy Reeves, assistant dean for academic success (nlr22@uakron.edu)
