The course is focused directly towards driving student achievement on the bar exam by working to build critical exam skills. This course combines substantive review with multiple choice question deconstruction. The course covers the MBE subjects of Contracts, Evidence, Torts, and Real Property. Students review the substantive law that is most heavily tested in that subject on the bar. Students then take a quiz that will test their retention and analytical skills on that subject for homework. In the following class, students walk through how to attack the problems focusing on skills like process of elimination. This course has a pretest, retention quizzes, two midterms and a final exam that serve as benchmarks and efficacy indicators throughout the course and as a collective preview of the demanding pace of post-graduate commercial bar review. The short term goal is to see increases in each subject of 20% with a long term goal of understanding of substance of, and approaches to, the MBE.

This upper-level course combines substantive review of bar-tested subjects with multiple choice question deconstruction.

This course is part of the Core Curriculum. All students are required to complete this course during their final year of law school.

Even in sections of this course that meet remotely, the quizzes and final exam will be administered in-person, on campus. All students are expected to plan accordingly.
