LAW 753 - Core Multiple Choice Skills and Concepts

Course Type: Upper Level Elective
Credits: 3

Description: This course will introduce students to the substantive knowledge, thought process, and skills needed for success on the multiple-choice portion of the bar exam. The learning methodology will be iterative, consisting of substantive lectures and materials followed by extensive practice-testing and analysis. The course will begin by reviewing heavily tested subtopics on the multiple-choice exam and offer study strategies for each. Practice-testing will use actual bar exam multiple choice questions, and all substantive materials will be written by the instructor specifically for this course. The course is designed to benefit applicants in nearly all jurisdictions, as the multiple-choice exam is given in every jurisdiction in the United States except Louisiana. Students will be able to quantify their progress during the semester, both individually and relative to their peers. All students will also meet individually with the instructor to discuss their progress and specific steps they can take to maximize their odds on the bar exam. Students will be expected to complete weekly assignments. Please note that this course is NOT remedial; the course will cover a significant amount of substantive information and will be fast-paced, particularly in the second half of the semester.
