USD-BAR/BRI Early Bar Preparation Program Workshop 3

FREE

USD is offering a FREE BAR/BRI early bar preparation program for graduating law students during the spring 2009 semester.

This non-credit program consists of four FREE workshops on select Saturdays from 1:00-5:00 p.m. at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice.

Students who attend all four sessions and submit both the practice essay and performance test to BAR/BRI for grading can enroll in their summer course at a discount.

March 28, 2009 – Substantive Review
April 4, 2009 – Focused Essay Writing
April 18, 2009 – Multi-State Bar Exam Techniques (description below)
April 25, 2009 – Performance Test

MBE Techniques:  BAR/BRI instructors will lecture on the multiple-choice section of the bar exam and provide specific approaches to the questions in the subject area reviewed in Workshop One.  BAR/BRI will administer a short test of 12-17 released multiple-choice questions under simulated-exam conditions.  Upon completion of the exam, BAR/BRI instructors will review each question, focusing on strategies and techniques to obtain the correct answer. 

This introductory course is not a substitute for the regular summer bar review course but is intended to give you a head start on your bar preparation.
