LAW 97 - MBE Strategies

Unit(s): 2

This course is focused solely on the multistate bar exam (MBE). It builds on the analytical, critical reading, and issue spotting skills taught throughout the law school’s curriculum, with the goal of enhancing a student’s ability to prepare for, and pass, the bar exam. The course covers selected substantive topics that frequently appear on the MBE in the seven different subject areas. Students begin with an MBE simulated experience of the bar exam and starting point to measure improvement throughout the course. This flipped class model assigns all substantive law review as homework assignments in advance of in-class skills review. The online syllabus includes refresher videos in each substantive area. Weekly quiz assignments are followed by a classroom deconstruction lecture highlighting approaches, strategies, and techniques for breaking down and answering multiple choice questions effectively. To further enhance students’ abilities, the course book contains supplementary quizzes as well as a bank of online questions that students will use to prepare for the final exam (tentative.)
