General Questions
Why did I perform poorly on my exams?
Law school is all about thinking like a lawyer. Knowing the law is the first step, and demonstrating its application is the second. Law exams test both. Organization of your thoughts is critical to your success.
Your professors want to see your ability to cite the law and, most importantly, apply the law to the exam facts within the time constraints so you can succeed in real-world situations.
What is an outline?
An outline is a short summary of a particular subject's law, consisting of rules with corresponding case citations. A subject outline is a great tool for organizing everything into one coherent document for quick reference.
Commercial outlines are typically written by law professors who synthesize and organize the rules for you. While some students create their own outlines, purchasing a commercial outline and integrating your own notes into it is the most efficient approach.
What are supplements and why do I need them?
Supplements are study guides (books, flashcards, etc.) that will help you learn and understand the legal concepts in a particular subject.
We can provide you with multiple supplements, from essay and multiple-choice MBE exam books all the way to Exam Solution® substantive law audio.
Why do I need to take a legal exam writing course?
Legal writing is different from any other writing because it is more than just reciting rules. It requires you to identify the issues raised by the facts in a hypothetical approach, cite the relevant rules, and then demonstrate your understanding of the law.
Because most law school exams are in essay and multiple-choice format, a legal writing course will teach you the exam methods and strategies for both testing formats.
Is it too early to think about the Bar Exam?
It's NEVER Too Early! Students who do not take bar-related subjects during law school are often overwhelmed by the amount of material they have to learn for the bar exam. By choosing bar-tested subjects as your course electives, you will learn what you need to pass the bar, and you will be starting your bar preparation early.
Do I need to brief cases in my 3rd year?
Yes, briefing is an essential skill that all law students and lawyers must possess. Practically everything you do when you become a lawyer must be supported with legal authority, so the importance of briefing must not be disrespected.
Briefing cases can also be seen as a mechanism to practice for your law exams. Every case is based on a set of facts. The facts that generate a controversy create issues for the court to resolve. The cases contain the rules the court applied in that situation. The case reasoning demonstrates how the court reasoned the case facts to the relevant rule and came to its decision. Law exams are designed to test the same skills you learn from briefing cases.
