It is a deceptively challenging task &#8211; and most examinees don&#8217;t respect how dificult it is, until it is too late to master the necessary skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have the opportunity to change that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the next 2 Saturdays (June 1 &amp; June 8), from 2:00 &#8211; 5:00, Academic Success is offering an extended MPT workshop.  We&#8217;ll tackle three MPTs over the two weekends.  You&#8217;ll be exposed to the most common tasks (letters, memos, and litigation documents) and at least one uncommon task (drafting interrogatories, writing a will, reviewing a contract or a policy for a customer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is homework for the first workshop &#8211; a first draft of the March v. Betts MPT (assigned on Friday to the students who are studying for the July bar exam).  Let me know if you need a copy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/akron.qualtrics.com\/jfe\/form\/SV_8kNrFHydEYyyqSV\">Sign up here to let me know you&#8217;re coming<\/a> (or to let me know the dates don&#8217;t work for you, but you would be interested at a different time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the Extended MPT Workshop, we&#8217;ll be starting an MPT-of-the-month club.
