Writing for the Bar Exam
Writing for the Bar is an intensive course focused on strategies and practice for the Multistate Essay Exam (MEE) and the Multistate Performance Test (MPT). Students taking the bar exam in a state that uses a state-specific essay format on their bar exam may still benefit from the core strategies taught in this course. For the MEE, students will review and practice writing essays covering several heavily-tested subtopics across multiple subjects, with a focus on developing a strong but flexible framework to resolve common bar exam essay fact patterns. Exercises will focus on sharpening your reading comprehension, issue identification, rule mastery, critical thinking, and legal analysis skills in the context of bar essays. Homework and in-class exercises will also serve as a solid substantive review of heavily tested bar subjects like Contracts, Real Property, and Civil Procedure. For the MPT, homework and exercises will focus on developing a game plan for attacking several common MPT formats, like the objective memorandum, persuasive brief, and persuasive letter. In class exercises will focus on strategies for effective time management on the MPT, including how to outline answers and where to save time writing less formally than you would for a “real life” task, but still earn full points on the bar exam.
