Spring 2017 Substance Abuse Lecture is next Wednesday, February 1st
What is the Substance Abuse Lecture? It is a one-hour lecture required for anyone who plans take the Ohio Bar at any time in the future. You may attend this lecture during any semester you are in law school, and we will verify your attendance with the Supreme Court of Ohio when you graduate.
You will definitely want to make this lecture, either to fulfill this requirement now for the rest of the time you are in law school, or as your final opportunity to attend a free lecture if you haven’t yet attended and plan to graduate in Spring 2017.

Bar Exam: Making up the Rules – Thursday
Thursday, January 26 – Making up the Rules
How to prepare for, and survive, your mind blanking out at the most inopportune time.
Central Hower 310A – 6:30 – 8:00 PM (6:00 PM for food and casual conversation)
Sign up here so I know how much food to bring!
There are 15 subjects on the Ohio bar exam. The ideal situation, of course, is to have all of the rules for all of the subjects memorized and ready at the tip of your tongue. That might work for a few folks, but most of us have occasional memory lapses. Practice using snippets of prompts from past Ohio essays, and your basic knowledge of the law, to write rules that are close enough to save the day.
This workshop is designed primarily for those preparing for the February bar exam – but if you’re looking for a head start on your July (or later) bar preparation and don’t mind diving into subjects you may not have covered yet you’re welcome to join us!
