Bar Exam Prep Course Seeking Long Term Relationship: Legal Writing, Academic Support, Both, or Something Else
Ben Bratman, Susan Bakhshian
Program Code: T4B
A growing number of law schools now offer a for-credit bar exam preparation course, but what exactly should such a course cover, and are legal writing professors best suited to create and teach the course? A panel of law school bar exam preparation teachers from various backgrounds will address these questions and others, including how large a role academic support departments should play, and the interplay between a law school bar prep course and a commercial bar review course.
