Extended Bar Prep study sessions

Friday 6:30 – 8:30 PM

  • Topic: Business Associations
  • Remote session : Visit the ASP BrightSpace calendar for the link
  • NLR Note: I have a 5:30 appointment in Green that predates selection of this time. The prompt will be posted in the ASP BrightSpace page (along with a Google Doc link). Zoom will open for the session as soon as one of you arrives. I will find an internet connection as close to 6:30 as possible, but start issue spotting until I get there!

Saturday 11:00 – 1:00 <<- Note the new time!

  • Topic: Constitutional Law (Commerce Clause)
  • Room 325 – in person session

These are essay-writing sessions designed primarily for those taking a bar exam in February or July – but anyone is welcome to drop in! They are a good way to enhance your essay-writing skills, to refresh substantive knowlege that is a distant memory, or get a sneak peek at subjects you haven’t taken yet.

They are a good way to enhance your essay-writing skills, to refresh substantive knowlege that is a distant memory, or get a sneak peek at subjects you haven’t taken yet.

We’ll have a 10,000 foot overview of trusts and future estates on Friday, but we’ll likely dive right in to the property essay on Saturday.

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.)
