Smile. You are going to pass the bar exam. In this course, you will learn the skills needed to succeed on the bar exam. In half of the class sessions, national expert Chris Fromm from Kaplan will teach you substantive law in torts, contracts, and criminal law. Using that knowledge, you will learn strategies to dominate the MBE. In the other half of the class sessions, you will work in small sections of 15 students with your writing professor to learn how to excel on essays and the performance test.
